Stellified! - Poem 3
The Starhuntress
- Savrina:
My mother left her child,
Her love feigned and beguiled,
Hath she no care for me?
My father found a whore,
He loved those strangers more,
Than he hath giveth me.
Am I alone?
“All alone…”
I wish a star would fall,
Shatter my lonely pall,
Seclusion at an end.
Maybe once here on Earth,
The starstone could find worth,
To be my only friend.
Am I alone?
“All alone…”
I call myself Savrina.
I don’t use my own surname.
My kin cast me no honour,
So they shan’t share in my fame.
Hang around, yes, you’ll see me cry,
But there’s more to me than shame.
Don’t think me so depressed,
In spirit I’ve been blessed,
Will nay change how I live.
I’d prefer loneliness,
Than friends who be remiss,
The faithless I misgive.
I am alone!
“All alone…”
