Verity

Verity

Child of the stars that fell when the world faded

Friend of no one but the dreams that whispered vain compliments into deaf ears

Who once was the girl with wings who could fly to every corner of the earth and still have time to listen to the quiet singing in front of the campfire

Who remembers the world crumble with the weight of what she has and hasn't done

Who likes the swift cool breeze that sent shivers down her fragile spine

Who hates the fiery passion of those who were wrong but were confident anyway

Who believes in nothing but the pain that kept her awake at night and tired in the mornings

Who fears the slowly burning embers because when they disappear, she will too

Who hopes for change even when she knows she is forever doomed to despair
