Phantom
Anne Brooks Knowles 1977 (Jacksonville)
He scares me oh love
I see myself in him always
His aching heart
Longing to be heard
But
Oh so easily
Misunderstood
His hungry eyes
His bright big smile
They scared me
As he wrapped his wings around me
I felt all oV his wounds
As though to recall
The pain oV my own.
-Xavia Nyx
