It would be so easy just to slip into the madness but, god, she cannot question anymore why he doesn't recognize that she wasn't built to stand this folds her hands over her neck tries to swallow the signs that she's getting stuck again It's almost kinder to grow weary to wait until the weather warms to sleep and cry and think that just around the calendar is a new house with a clean bath and an open bedroom window ... all too simple to reflect on if she lingers on this she might lose her head {again.} This is not right, she's decided to be so young and feel this wasted, drained, and getting on It would be so easy just to slip into the madness but, god, she cannot miss today at work she has to save the money she is making for a place out West to call her own A break with time to have the wind and grass and sky and water; bend into the thoughts that can't confine her Wasn't this the age that we were to make something of ourselves? Oh, your plans, dear, have distorted but grip sense in such a clean strange way Is all this for the better or are you looking solely for the furthest Great Escape? It would be so easy just to slip into the madness but, god, you cannot give up now with happiness this close Breathe, my baby, breathe do not consider where you've been taken the fingerprints are loosening If you ignore them they will go away Ecstasy -- Oh, and I might be mistaken -- is a place for the naive but I'll tell you child, you have to find it for yourself you can't chase down pieces you have seen where others yield their way This destination could be wrong, and the manner that you've been travelin' will beat you in and out so keep your strength in routine I can't promise you redemption, but there's something in you that makes these people believe Put your hands away and close your eyes, I swear you'll feel its breath rising the hairs along your spine... |

I liked this bit of madness. There is more I'd like to say, but I am suddenly in need of a short computer break. My demanding carpal tunneled wrist is screaming it's time to get away from the keyboard. But I will return. |

Very interesting write! I enjoyed pondering on these words "Ecstasy -- Oh, and I might be mistaken -- is a place for the naive but I'll tell you child, you have to find it for yourself you can't chase down pieces you have seen where others yield their way" Thought provoking writing! |
