In days of golden sand and bliss,
Breaths of joy are few and fleeting
No claws were bared, nor mouths a-twist,
Love served cold awaited eating...
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Spring prepares to close its season,
Our time of joy were rendered small
Rhyme remained, devoid of reason,
My bruises chained me to a wall.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Dressed to kill she walked the streets,
My dreams flew closer to the sun
My comfort had abandoned me,
Innocence slept, her duty done.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Maddened bursts of warm words teased,
She broke our bones to make us small
Dread ensued as summer eased,
She sold her soul to break her fall.
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Her bright blue eyes, now faded grey,
Are softer than I have ever known
My wearied heart forgives today,
Poor Mother fears, her time has flown...
♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

The Road to Nowhere
Trigger warnings: Violence, Death. "May the Sun burn your tongue out, woman," Fredrick's father screamed the curse into his mother's ear as their elegant little carriage rumbled along, its polished wood and gilded trim glinting in the torchlight. They had just left the small village of Saffron and were on an unnamed road to the capital for the Royal wedding. Fredrick leaned back in his plush velvet seat to escape into the passing landscape, but across from him sat the servant boy, a scrappy lad named Jack. Jack's eyes held a mixture of awe and fear, the kind that only a commoner could feel in the presence of nobility. Jack looked up and caught Fredrick's gaze, offering him a sad little smile before reaching into his pocket and retrieving a little caramel treat. This candy was no doubt stolen from the kitchen treat cupboard; if he was caught with it, he would be locked in the box as punishment.
