HeartSpun Desperation

Every night you can find her there
kneeling quiet within the shadows of time
desperately trying to connect her past to her present
her arms outstretched
her fingers clutching moments on both sides
as her tears fall lost within someone elses moments

She sees through tainted eyes
that distort every second that ticks her world
into a collection of betrayed promises
and stolen forevers
she's lost in memories she can't change
and dreams she can't quite let go of

Deep within the light of a blood-orange full moon
hiding in the depths of a wanton midnight
she pulls out her quill and feverishly
etches broken verse across the canvas of night
her ink bleeds her ache as she writes

She captures lover's hearts in verse
as they fall dreamt from fading dreams
scribbling deliberate little things
with unconscious intentions
playing for keeps in the name of love
yet realizing moments like tears
repeat themselves far too often
and everything could be lost
within the splintered memories
of shattered days

It's a dark and lonely moment
when finally she falls to her knees
summoning all that she is
to give her the strength
to pull her past into her future
connecting all things come and gone
with those yet to be
calling on hope and destiny
to right the wrongs of her yesterdays
changing this minute right now
into a "last night's dream" instead
of "this moments reality"
and forever saving her tomorrows
from being the same as her todays
