all aloneall alone
listening to the trees looking at the scenery all alone longing for the return of their father oh, how they wish he would come night is falling fast energy seeping from the earth as it seeps from the children all alone. fire and iceOne day, two day,
Three day, four Another witch burned, But it doesn’t matter there's always more. They always won, But they knew One day they will fall They know it's true. Until then, they mused, They'd endure this game; Alone and together One and the same. When the forest is dark, And the witches are strong, The hunters will rest, In arms they belong. They could find another, And quit before the end is met. But no passion would be found, Only a shell of great regret. What would be the point in Living life apart, If all that truly matters, Was in each other's hearts. They loved each other in kind, As though it were befitted, For within her heart, No sin had been committed. |

keep
The prices were simply too steep A stepmother planned something foul That left the father with a scowl Even though he disapproved The children were removed Tears filled the room Along with the eternal notes of gloom Out they trudged through the trees Until the children could no longer see, their home or their once family They could of cried, they could of plead But instead sadness and silence came As they children were left with only their pain. |
