On fevered wings she flies
pursued by pain so intense
she dares not rest for fear
her heart wil explode.

Fleeing from a love so barren
it damn near sucked her dry,
searching for a place
without dreams
   without memories
      without tears

Lost in a wasteland of
not quite lies, looking for...
...something
anywhere but here...
...anything but this...
this insiduous nothing thats
invaded her very soul.

On fevered wings she flies
every wingbeat, every heartbeat
a step farther down the road to forget
farther from the reality of despair
farther from the betrayal of forever.

On fevered wings she flies.

Oh Paula, this is tragic, but beautifully written...the images are flying across my mind...~S~

Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart  ~~S~~
