I loved him, not for the way he danced with my angels.... But for the way the sound of his name could silence my demons.

Running away was the only option
You want to know why? Because I was scared
The word that describes it is corruption
I watched with blurry eyes as my dad stared

I needed to be in my safe haven
I thought I couldn’t face the world again
The feeling of happiness was craven
I tilt my head to feel the fallen rain

The sun sets reminding me to go home
But what if my home isn’t my haven
But I can’t stay forever in the dome
The beautiful birds above were ravens

The little run away me was frightened
Little me was forever enlightened
