sleeping beauty


the lonely room where you lay

with nothing around you and nothing to say

nothing but a small beautious flower

that peirces the night like a cold shower

but night compares not to the flower

for night beholds ugly fear

a time when ugly lurkers long to leer

inside your window deep in the night

a cold feeling arises fright

you cry awake forever in your sleep

for you know someone is watching deep

you scream aloud

but not a sound

comes from your mouth

no one can hear you

so no one knew

the night is what took your life

even though you were deep in strife

so say goodbye to everyone

even the beautious flower you once loved
