She wanted so badly to go back To a time when things where simple When insecurities not so heavy When her dress had slipped off easily It brought tears to her eyes To see their place in temporary ruin Like life, something had disturbed it Leaving it undistinguishable From what it had been before She silently wondered If that were how her and Travis would end up His voice brought her back From the murkiness of mud and thought “Where to?” he asked Away from the destruction, she thought “I don’t care,” she whispered “Anywhere.” As she watched him put it in reverse And start backing up She wondered if he knew how much She longed to scoot closer Just to feel the comfort of him Yet she couldn’t bring herself to do it Sighing, she turns to look out the window It was so tiring Being scared “Sometimes I just want to run,” she said As tears slid down her face. |

LOL... I see I now have a shadow to follow the perpsective of travis with one from Lacey.. Bravo!!! Well done.... like the first it follows the story line and adds to the character of Lacey. I agree with Duncan.. you are a natural.. hope to see more... hmmm... now that lacey is being written and the other characters as well.. perhaps it is time I create a new one...and see if anyone relates to it enough to begin to write it.. LMAO... yeah right... like that's going to happen. |
