Faceless



Rest easy tonight, my sweet faceless,
Though, the moment may seem both bitter and tasteless.

For heaven's dream shall not pass you by,
Even if now in the darkness you cry.

And though your heart may feel withdrawn,
I promise tomorrow it won’t be gone.

It’s funny; I never knew the faceless had eyes,
Until they were closed, and said their goodbyes.

    With this poem and a sweet kiss, I'm sure you could wake 'Sleeping Beauty' from her trance.
