Drapped over her bed
she lays frozen still,
Only her hot tears stir
and only the clock ticks
in the thick silence;
Her body raped of it's senses,
Her mind left with no guide
No one left to hold her dear
all is lost and empty here,
without ever knowing why;
Maybe it's because she was never good enough
Or maybe because she was never loved
and even if so,
they never let her know
And the the heart was lost
somewhere that in that blinding night;
The pen shaking,
as she searches her mind
Trying to find some life in there,
something she had tried to hide
Something inside her to push her forward;
And she stumbles and she falls,
with only herself to get kicked in the face
But as the blood runs down her face
she cries out, "No! You are not the one!,"
"My time's end still hasn't come!"
There will be no one to watch her fall
nor know what color it is that she cries;
She walks away,
ignoring the pain haunting her every breath
Holding forth and displaying her pride,
With shaded eyes
and a lion's grin,
she makes her way
in careful, steady strides

manson? hmm...well I was listening to Shirley Manson when I was writing this...I was too off in a daze to really know what I was writing. Just writing whatever came to me. Then it came to the title and I just picked manson because it had nothing to do with the poem but it was something going on at the time. Thanks for your time.

I loved this one. Shirley is one of my fave's, "I'm only happy when it rains". I think the title fits well.

I was wondering about the title - I am glad you clarified where it came from. I was stuck on the Charles Mason - Helter Skelter thing...LOL funny how certain words key images in the mind. Excellent poem, btw.
