| Once upon a Time Once upon a time there was an end skipping rope laughter and dragons in the sky days are over child, your hood frames a struck face where was your guide? when you jumped onto trains without drivers forgot to read the destination sign stepping off onto stations laying eyes upon souls you never imagined existed we rang the mercy bells pulling tight your strings the enchanted ones the beautiful hands that held out treats then beat upon your cherishes with incensed deception I scrubbed your skin raw trying to rid you of the qualms that stained we stitched madly you, undone they didn't believe you could walk again you locked an ember in a dark room and scars keep you within their reach please shells are not tempted by honey and band aids soak off in water drown me baby.... ~shalome Copyright � 2006 2007.
