don't be afraid, baby <br />just slip out of your skin <br />wander in <br />enjoy the air on your bones; <br />young as they are, <br />too old to feel new <br />what is life to do with you? <br />place the crown upon <br />your head <br />forget not innocence <br />forget not grace <br />not bravery, nor honor <br />nor valor, <br />just forget yourself <br />and your pretty little face, <br />all is grace <br />all is grace <br /> <br /> <br />don't be afraid <br />to let them in <br />with their little hands <br />and their grinning grins <br />they love to live <br />tho living's not <br />what you expected <br />from this lot. <br />adore them now <br />for they shall go <br />as the sun melts <br />the winter's snows <br /> <br /> <br />feel your skeleton melting in <br />feel the earth <br />reach up to meet you <br />feel your heartbeat <br />fade within you <br />press'd into the arms of night <br />forever to dwell in the shadows <br />of glory, long forgotten now, <br />my sweet; <br />life is better here, <br />this way, <br />it is neither go <br />nor stay, <br />here in the arms <br />of brother <br />Morpheus, <br />god of sleep, <br />of never-ending <br />dreams.<br /><br />valerie jaeger<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-sucky-poem-dedicated-to-my-goth-side/
