She steps over the roses on a strange alien stage
There must have been a million voices lamenting their rage
The helpless ghosts of a world on a string
When the moon listlessly decided to sleep
Was there a lasting plea, a wish that would sing
Of spiderwebs or people who seemed to be breathlessly
Looking up into the sky of stars and beautiful dreamers
But the spider's wanted a fly and nature is a beast
No he doesn't wonder anymore, he doesn't step outside the line
And color circles on her curves like the world did to mine
And she just wants a feeling, something tender not painful
They don't want a recognition, but she looks away
What does a little girl say when she's stripped of her hell
The only thing that we gave her at all
No one wants her voice and her soul is his feast
Tormenting her with insanity because she was happy
To be free.

Darkly beautiful and pulled at my emotions... a bit confusing from a prompt viewpoint... unprotected is a form of nakedness and that's what I felt this was going for... but not sure. I did enjoy it regardless... and thank you for sharing your voice. All the best in the contest...
Ken
