NeverMore

Dan E. Scott

His broken wings and Feathers

Upon the ground below

Laid waste to all that was

Some roses never Grow

sound and breath escaped him

blood that stains the snow

A frozen heart once hurt him

The beating ceased to flow

Yesterday he soared

Like angels to and fro

Today an empty shell

Lies on the ground below

A secret died within him

No story left to show

The stolen love she gave him

Was Pain she’ll never know

Grasped his life too tightly

And then she let him go

Darkened light within him

That’s how she Killed the Crow.
