A girl's Heart
by Elizabeth Waddell
A girl, her life hanging in the balance, a love tarnished from freedom. This child is me, the black amongst the night. I went in search of freedom and drown in the beauty of your eyes and swam in the sea of your soul. Our hearts whispered secrets and your fingers led me home. Your heartbeat is my pulse and I am revived. Wherever your steps may lead you, I follow in your tracks. Silent and starving I scavenge your veins. Your hunger pierces me like a thousand straight pins and my blood quenches your thirst.
