Lonely Driveway

I flew back as quickly
as i could, burning the air
just to get to your house
on time and make you happy for once
i was minutes late, breaking the limit
of your grace period
i try and converse and make it
seem alright, but responses
come like inmates to their ,
none want to willingly visit me
noise permeates the air, but
my vocals are not among them,
your rejection to me is worse
than floggings for innocence

When will you make time for me?
i walk towards you and you run
im searching for the things to say
but when i remember, the thought slips away
i see you outside and persue you with vigor
a shadow passes over me,
your protector has arrived
he drives me away without force
all he does is touch your hand and
hold your arm
this reminder is enough to stay my tongue
it strikes fear in my heart

so i leave, slipping away unnoticed
you dont care, your lord protector is there
keeping watch over you, saving you from
the courtiers, the pushing crowd.
maybe the crowd is one, consisting of me,
so i do leave, hiding a tear of hurt
the party continues without me
i trudge down the lonely driveway and return.....home

now im alone, but not lonely like before

I have read a few of yours in teen, you are tooo young to feel this way....this is very touching on many different levels.....

I had a dream last night
you came to me on silver wings of light
I flew away with you in painted sky
Was it real
Is it what you see,touch or feel

Sounds like a very hurtful place to be in your emotions. Hope it's better now.
Love,
Terri~
