Storm of applause Exalted fans Hotels Delayed flights Points in the rider Forgotten Undone Clothes shine in the lights Sunset and stars Screaming around Beads of sweat on your face Horrible nightmare - Your voice has gone A drink of water Disgrace Autographs Headlines Round the world Tears in the pillow at night Can not forgive me And can not fold Show must go on It’s right Can not forgive Can not forget What do you know of my love? If you believe That I never shed tears I’ve cried enough Back of the moon Far from your eyes Always closed in the dark What do you know to blame me for lies? Censure Just my luck Can not forgive me? I will not beg you Since that unlucky child Down in the mud without her legs Is lying in a pool of blood Under the shatters She‘s still alive Her mom is already dead Maybe in hell or up in the sky Does it really matter? . 20/09/2014 |

A Whirlwind tour of feelings justified or nay. Much personal thoughts and observations for me to get a clear picture. Nice reading though. If they give you ruled paper write sideways. |

I like this...it doesn't paint an exact picture, it leaves your mind open for interpretation. Enjoyed. -Trina |

Thank you, Trina, for reading and commenting! Thank you, Jerry! You're right, it's personal and not clear to the most of people. But I can explain the main theme: it's someone's ordinary life, which he considers to be hard, especially because of misunderstanding and resentment; and the view of the "narrator" on it, who also could take offence; and then another sudden picture from the reality of the last, maybe very close reality, striking with utter cruelty and injustice and making any resentment pointless just because of the difference of scale. |

It is very clear to me Galina! It pains me very deeply that the narrator has had to suffer such cruelty and injustice. Owl |
