The Prize no sounds that I heard empty promised word just loneliness' quenching drink allowing my mind a moment to think in that thought I was confused another turn, bruised and used tied up again in untrue lines fault is mine, ignored the signs you look at me, think me weak I'm clearing my throat, I soon speak even in dark, I shine too bright for you you look at me and know it's true with all the pain you have felt your heart IS ice, you'll never melt do not worry about my whispers at night you lit the flame, then blew out the light you had the choice, I let you choose I am the prize and you now lose [This message has been edited by 1slick_lady (edited 02-27-2001).] |

I agree with Sven, a gift. I couldn't have said it better! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

If you were a prize, must be a game u play. Cause in my heart, you are the jewel that lays. Never promised u different 23 years ago. But if it was a game, you won and now it over. Bernie Bernie Slicker |
