This...this is loneliness. It's when every sound blooms in agony. The cold seeps through the gaps and I vividly taste my heartbeat like a marred corpse. I question my skin and my mind shivers. I fear no one but myself.

Yours even as I fear to be

Maiden

She weaves with silken thread
Stolen from a pretty worm
Beats each string violently 
And weaves a thick blanket 
To warm her cold home

She knits with fluffy wool
Torn from a poor sheep
Winds each wool wretchely 
And designs a warm robe
To gift her poor home

She tailors with her tears 
Snatched from her thatched joy
Stabs each tear lividly 
And stitches a loving home
To shelter her dear blood

She cooks with her soul
Plundered from her dreams
Crushes each piece tenderly 
And brews a soothing soup
To feed her growing blood
