I Thought...

By h2whoa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I thought you'd stay there, When the curtain went up. You told me not to fret, That I am a whisper, You are the shout. I thought I could stay there, Where the Snow Demon sleeps. I wanted to embrace his glory, Find salvation in the uniformity, Of his Ice Age grip. I thought you were a flame, A passionate roar. You told me you would sear away The splinter-sins embedded Deep within my dream. I thought I was a butterfly, And you showed me that I'm not.
