She was always in silence, amongst the blacks walls Her passion was beginning to fade, perhaps she's seen it all As the walk in crisp air, with no shadows to follow She set out to seek what was no longer in sorrow The water that became ice in an instant, it would never fold The lies that filled her mind, all the things she was told As a heart will always remain broken, never easily to mend She set forth to a new journey, to Hollows End As a block, became two, then a mile became more It was a first that she's ever walked this far before Until she finally came to a black stoned brick wall It was there that she touched as the bricks started to fall As a light was cast among this new place which her footsteps attend She thought to herself that she finally found Hollows End While she walked and pondered at this new sight New thoughts had aroused, telling herself she was able to fight The waterfalls, The Fairies, Mockingbirds & white roses all around She couldn't believe it herself that Hollows End has been found For it was to good to be true, to set eyes on such site As her visions of fear and worry, in that moment turned into such delight It felt like days, years even, that she never left that place As she started to feel in her thoughts this couldn't be all it takes What felt like forever was only trapped in her mind For she was still alone, in the dark, only frozen in time While she laughed and smiled with those she met in Hollows End She was still deep in sleep, & stuck with the pain they couldn't mend The days have gone by as she skipped throughout the meadow The nights were filled with stars, as if she could look until tomorrow Sunlight so bright, never once rain or snow The light breeze in the trees, As all the nature continued to grow At the home which she slept, those around her began to wept As they were told of what may happen if she never recovered While the harm and conflict that was bestowed to her life No one around her ever knew, never bothered to ask if she was alright While the scars and the bruises showed no sign of healing It was clear where she laid, she had lost all feeling Others blamed themselves for not being there When deep inside she knew it was only her, no one else's blame to be shared The weeks became months, as months became years That she surrounded herself with the sunlight and stars, never a feeling of such fear Until one day she stopped suddenly while she was walking down a path It was in that moment she thought about the life she used to have As this question filled her mind a stranger approached Told to take the hand before her, as she was lead to see what should've already been shown They traveled in silence for a moment or two As the coldness came back and the darkness once more She remembered in her mind, that she's been here before While they walked in silence on the cold black ground It was the sight before her, wasn't very easy as she found Screaming and yelling, banging on several doors Fires among houses, murder and several missing, more than before As nothing looked familiar everything was so strange to her She started to feel what she hasn't in a while, the beginning of so much hurt While she was lead to the place where several stones lay The sight which she saw, made her glance with nothing to say A stone with a name and the dates, everything that was taken away Willow will always be our angel, was all that it said She couldn't believe her eyes, as all the pieces fell together There was a reason why she never wanted to leave and stay there forever As they walked back down the cold black road She shivered in silence as she was handed a coat The warmth she received as she put it on Yet the reality set in, that she was really gone Walking once more to the black stone bricked wall She was stopped by the stranger and handed a necklace that held it all As she looked at the beautiful emerald, the faces for which it showed Everyone she's ever known and loved stayed with her as it was clamped around her neck As she took the hand that was held in front of her they walked once more through the wall The light began to shine as the warmth filled her body once again She walked back in knowing that this was her place, her safe haven This was Hollow's End Kate |

A very intriguing tale you've spun here. Even the name "Hollow's End" is catchy. It held my interest right along. ...just bein' Bluesy |
