Yellow Ponies

I’ll let you introduce yourself
before the echos of your past mistakes
haunt me with false embraces
to a future that no longer exists
for the doomed and fragile
for the shattered angels
go to the light, go go on child
feel the wild nights
feel alive once more
walk out those shuttered doors
and dance freely on the floor
no longer theirs to control
oh ghostly princess in the corridor
I feel the pain inside your soul
addicted to bad advice and mind control
mindlessly, we are connected in this way
the heroin is our enemy
and holy God is the remedy
to a life of tragic parody
of madness, darkness, and disease
her poison lips kiss the bruised
she is ready to take a leap of faith
and embrace more than this abuse
she will find her wings never were torn
a Magdelene reborn
the others maybe mourning
the lies they told themselves all along
whether righteous or ill
she will ride the phantom unicorn
into the next horizon
