She stumbles along Pale with shock; green with jealousy She had never imagined.... She heard their voices Laughing, forever mocking her ~Suddenly overcome by the call of the sea~ The dirt lane she traversed Seemed in her mind to be The yellow brick road to her final destiny He had been the same as everyone else-after all ~Betrayal~ -But-He was love (love endures) And love is hope (A bird with broken wings) ~Hope is suicide~ Her emotions boiled over- A lifetime of hiding it all inside finally paid off Apathy vanished As anguish tore her apart And her soul was bloodied and raw Feelings were born anew- And she couldn't take it She honestly hoped they would be forever happy In the knowledge that they had killed her This is where her sunny road came to an end On the edge of this craggy cliff Waves crash on the rocks below- Seemingly still tinted red For this is where she stood, Gazing at the moonlit waters Silhoueted by the lighthouse glare In silvered grass She spread her wings -(Yes the broken ones-the only ones she has)- And for a brief moment she flew (Straight down) Hoping no one would save her And no one did ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Denise, Ruth, and Alwye, thank you for the replies. I am just glad this hasn't happened to me, and (foolish me) I have trust in the fact that it won't. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

Watcher and Pepper, thank you. It reflected my mood at the time, and (**sigh**) my current mood. ------------------ Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices. |

I love this SD. It reflects my mood also. ------------------ Nail to the mast her holy flag, Set every threadbare sail- And give her to the god of storms, The lightning and the gale! -Oliver Wendell Holmes |

And her soul was bloodied and raw... And her words were razor sharp and poised to slash at my heart... Love this!! DB ------------------ When I'm sad she comes to me With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free. --------Hendrix |
