The white wings signify freedom.
As the birds sing of harmony,
my wings continue to be defiled.

The silver key
glittering within the light of the sun pierces my heart
like a spear, and forcefully
pries it open.

Within the tempting gap, on the bridal night,
of this bewitching cage,
the curtain of the night falls upon
feelings long kept hidden.

Cherishing the remembrance of what I've let go; protecting
my purity.
Forever chasing, yet
confined.

Falling;
sinking,
until my heart plunges into complete chaos,
as I hide within the pure white wings.

Within my eyes,
the anguish that illuminates the moonlit night
shines red; I could do naught
but shiver.

The wandering star reveals its sorrow,
afraid of the road that leads to the horizon.
The vines that constrict me causes my pride to
perish without a trace.

The shield that I hold on one hand is my one and only ally;
the doves fly away without even paying heed to me.

I brandish the silver spear against evil,
upholding justice.
There is none that I could believe in
but me; so I tell myself.

Lamenting;
wailing,
until my voice could no longer come out,
as I further dirty these impure wings.

Within the silence of the night sky,
where the voices of the birds have all but disappeared,
the leaves of the olive tree dance,
carried by the wind.

Within the soothing sound of these waves,
the ship of freedom floats above.
I continue gazing at my dream,

from within the freedom of lies;
within this cage; one thoroughly painted over.
