So I Thought

by nickelsizedhail

I thought if I closed my eyes, I would go to sleep. And dream of beauty and butterflies and forget my broken wings. I thought if I had laid there, stone cold and sweet, maybe I could call up the image of fairies at my feet. But instead I felt the callous hands I've felt time and time again running down my body Destroying me at best.
