Solaced

Shining hair of raven's black

And eyes of freezing flame

She walks alone among the crowd,

A stranger none can name.

An isolated, frigid soul

So quiet and resigned.

She needs someone to lift her up

And leave the cold behind.

Whispered voices follow her,

Unspoken words clear.

Her utterance reveals the truth

But no one seems to hear.

Longing for a call to break

The silence in her mind,

She needs someone to lift her up

And leave the hush behind.

Wandering below the stars,

A lightless moon she sees

As echoes of a shadowed earth

Sing softly on the breeze.

On the outside looking in,

How could they all be blind?

She needs someone to lift her up

And leave the dark behind.

Trapped in solitary walls

And cloaked in sleep, she dares

To dream of strength beyond her reach

And voice her soundless prayers.

Controlling her own destiny,

Alone and unconfined

She cuts the thread that binds her wings

To leave the world behind.
