Ageless

Cornered

I have no space of my own.

No place left to go.

I don’t know if my soul

has ever been this low.

All this pain is changing me

I have no secrets left.

I used to be beautiful...

so ageless and deft.

Smiling at the world

that showed it's back to me.

Blessed with a heart

too strong to flee.

But now my age is showing,

pulling down my soul.

My dreams are swiftly dying

and my light is as black as coal.

No release available.

I bide my time and wait.

Eventually my time will come,

but I believe in fate.
