One Day...

When I was a little girl I saw you once.
You looked at me.
I waved at you.
My Father plucked my hand from the air
and pulled me away.

"Do not talk to that boy."

I would have talked to you anyway
but our paths did not cross again
Until I was a young woman.
Freshly ringed, freshly .. loved.
I blushed when you came by.

"Do not talk to the Ubar."

I wouldn't have then, I follow the rules.
For years you flittered in and out of my world
We rarely spoke, but I cooked for you once.
You told Trayu he was lucky.
Things were only a flicker then.

"Asria..."

You said, that day by the stream.
Your meaningless apoligies kissed my ears.
I handed you my broken heart,
I slipped it in your pocket
all the glittering shards.

"Don't fall down, Don't fall down..."

My white marble pedastal
You carved it just for me.
You made me pretty wings.. that I despise.
A pretty artifact that you cannot touch.
If I dangle my toes, I know you might bite them

"He depends on you."

She told me shortly, knowing I would shake my head.
She took my hands, squeezed them hard
Until I gave in, until I nodded.
I'll be the Madonna, I'll be good.
But one day I'm going to fall..

"..And I do not want you to catch me."

One day I will crash to the ground
One day I will crush my pretty wings.
I will be.. mortal.
And it will be Epic.
