She wanted so badly to go back
To a time when things where simple
When insecurities not so heavy
When her dress had slipped off easily

It brought tears to her eyes
To see their place in temporary ruin
Like life, something had disturbed it
Leaving it undistinguishable
From what it had been before

She silently wondered
If that were how her and Travis would end up

His voice brought her back
From the murkiness of mud and thought

“Where to?” he asked

Away from the destruction, she thought
“I don’t care,” she whispered
“Anywhere.”

As she watched him put it in reverse
And start backing up
She wondered if he knew how much
She longed to scoot closer
Just to feel the comfort of him
Yet she couldn’t bring herself to do it
Sighing, she turns to look out the window
It was so tiring
Being scared

“Sometimes I just want to run,” she said
As tears slid down her face.

LOL... I see I now have a shadow to follow the perpsective of travis with one from Lacey.. Bravo!!!

Well done.... like the first it follows the story line and adds to the character of Lacey. I agree with Duncan.. you are a natural.. hope to see more...

hmmm... now that lacey is being written and the other characters as well.. perhaps it is time I create a new one...and see if anyone relates to it enough to begin to write it.. LMAO... yeah right... like that's going to happen.
