The Poet's Demise



Silence my thoughts
And I shall be
Just a violin with no strings.
Beautiful - but useless.
 
Break my words
And I shall be
Just a bird with no wings.
Beautiful - but hopeless.
 
Bind my hands
And I shall be
Just a valley with no springs.
Beautiful - but lifeless.
 
Carve my eyes
And I shall be
Just a playground with no swings.
Beautiful - but joyless.

[Originally written by the player of Crow (Derakoth)]
