His lying eyes showed hurt
Who’s hurt?
We breathed uncertainty, vapours of torment
She cried, “You taught me to fly, but you didn’t teach me to land”
Lives not their own
Lives belonged to Her
The other she. Not born a ruler but power was hers
She, who was thrown away, left, void of air, but still breathing
The air felt too thick and heavy
She looked up and cried, “You threw me away!”
Sky. Clouds. Her arms thrusted up in the air
Fly, fly again
The sky was so vast, with so much to investigate
She lifted, she faltered, she soared a little
She caught herself on her way down
Another He was waiting. In the wings.
Creating a soft place to land
Not that she needed it
