TORN APART
BY:  Anon Lurker

***

You were Torn apart by your Place
and found a reason for your blood to sing
but demons haunt unguarded minds
and the arms of a sparrow are only wings

You were torn Apart by love's debase
honor unknown 'til hearts treason
deny desire in cavalier style
but flesh is blind and sees no reason

We were Torn apart but hearts retrace
Well worn paths we two will make
like folded steel and strength to bend
no ghost or man could ever break

I was torn Apart by my Place
the arms of a sparrow are only wings
freedom haunts the narrowed mind
you are the reason for my blood to sing

I was Torn apart by love's debase
my flesh was blind and saw no reason
denied your heart in cavalier style
hoping you understand my honorous treason

We were torn Apart but hearts retrace
a man, now ghost, thought he couldn't break
my folded steel forced him to bend
now peace with you i must make

You were Torn Apart by my Place
and left to find another song
hunting down riches that were not gold
never seeking the wings in which you belong

You were Torn Apart by love's debase
betraying your honor for a murderous season
denying your soul all the while
threat to your friend makes you see reason

We were Torn Apart but hearts retrace
our steps are well known not a word must we speak
held in arms made of feather and steel
our dented armor already looking less bleak



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Or if you prefer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~






The arms of a Sparrow are only Wings
'til the steel of a Pirate
give him strength to bend
the freedom of flight
is only a dream
if flesh is made of reason
then your soul is your style
retrace your steps
let love debase you
learn your place
let your blood sing
not everything that glitters is gold
not all treasure can you hold
seek and ye shall find
a love that will be blind
