Poisonous Beauty

For untrue accusations
I was thrown to the poisoned lilies
As a traitor to the nations

To be surrounded by beauty
That reigns untouchable
Is a torturer’s ingenuity

To touch is to grasp death
And no matter how I yearn
I would take my last breath

To die is to never fly
And I am so much like a bird
That to not fly is to forever cry

And to take one not made to fight
To clip their wings and leave
Is to kill one born for flight

Pretty lilies I can only see
For which I eternally weep
Left to live a life of misery

Misery I hold close in my heart
An action done without reason
But I can’t end what I did not start
