She came about by nothing more than gin And a lavish grin that sat upon her face While the walls sighed and the moon lightly cried, And the crows crooned the night away. Walking in synch with this maidens tap, A silken wrap lay draped on her shoulder. For the sun lay hidden beneath hills forbidden, Giving the shadow free roam of the day. This maiden's tear did drench the floor, Where before did time relay her disgrace Shattered and torn left feeling forlorn, The crystal paints pictured her dismay. Three years back the world smiled pure, Where feelings obscure were better felt colder For when she slept dreaming of freedom she wept, And yearned to be led astray. Onto a path of rocky foot holes, Where all the souls caught with deaths embrace, Wrapped their hands into times white sands, And in order, they knelt down to obey. And in the darkness the shadows did dance, Catching a glance from the trees so much older. For as she died through her lonely su'cide, The shadows just drifted away. "Reality is just a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs." -- Robin Williams |

Three years back the world smiled pure, Where feelings obscure were better felt colder For when she slept dreaming of freedom she wept, And yearned to be led astray. My favorite stanza ^.
