The Raven to the Robin

The Raven to the Robin
By: Jenica Ty AKA Vanillakittens

We both know the dark
We understand it all too well
Heaven may be out of reach
But without you I’m in hell

I’m screaming out for you
Alone, dark and scared
A prophesy that haunts me
You know I’m unprepared
I’m drowning in my past
And I can barely breathe
You always come to rescue me
You know just what I need

A raven and a robin
both with feathers, beaks and wings
Are love an eternal mystery
of complicated things

I was alone and frightened
You were lost and confused
So tired of the lives we lived
All battered and abused

Violet eyes meet stormy ones
We hold each others gaze
And that’s all it takes for our spirits
To finally be raised
A hood to conceal my features
A mask to hide your face
But love will find us anyway
Through earth, time or space

We sit in silence together
Talking with unblinking eyes
There are no secrets between us
No deceit, tall tales or lies
Dive into the farthest corner
Of my twisted mind
You know me and love me
No one’ as smart or as kind

You have hair like the night
You have eyes like the sea
And you stole my heart
It’s now yours eternally

You saved me from the loneliness
From crying on my bed
From never feeling happy once
From voices in my head

And now right when you need me most
I find that I must fly
But have no fear, my dear
For you will never die
Their numbers will be great
But I’m a burden in this war
If I’m clinging at your side
I fear you won’t go far

You don’t need a boost
No support and no shove
So I watch you march to battle
Armed only with my love
I am a dark angel
Who cares only for one thing
And that is you, you silly bird
I’ll mend your broken wing

Call out for me in time
of desperate need
And I swear I’ll be there,
your prayers I will heed
A kiss for my lover
A hug for my friend
And wipe away that grim expression
For this is not our end

I’ll be waiting in the tower
I’ll be writing a great tale
Of a Raven and a Robin whose
Love would never fail…
