Lost

A halo of light lingered above her head

She put herself on a masquerade, disguised

Jovial she looked, devastated she felt

Hiding cards and rolling the dice

What is sin?

What is hatred

What is forgiveness?

Shadows of doubt led her in a dance

Shutting eyes of heart, opening eyes of mind

If only what she saw was kind

She would no longer look askance 

What is romance?

Where is romance?

Which is romance?

Alas! if she knew, she'd be saved

As wings enveloped her broken soul

Soaring higher than the world's praised

Till she was dropped and shattered again
