Lonely Girl


Lonely Girl

Ever just the same
The shadows calling her name
She stares at the night
Clutching the dress in fright
Smelling the scent of flowers in bloom
as memories, all around her flood the room

Why is she alone?
For what sin must she atone?
How can she bring it all back?
once so bright, why is it now dark?
She whispers a simple prayer, not for much
Then she reaches out for an invisible touch

A tear falls on her pillow
Her heartbeat slow, heavy with sorrow
she knows to grow she must leave her cocoon
She sighs, soon, as she stares at the pale moon
Tomorrow's light will surely bring a new day
Maybe there'll be someone to meet her halfway



for you!

It is not a feeling that completely goes away as situations scratch the tender surface.

the gift of words.....
you can feel her loneliness and kinda remorse and second-guessing as to why she has to be alone yet feel her mustering courage to get up and move with as much as a ray of hope that it will be ok. great post.am at a loss for words, you got them all...

this is a really cool poem and the fact that a dude wrote about a girl's experience makes it even cooler! auuui...one of them actually understands us!

...and we shall be many waiting at the halfway bridge for the halway-comers to just move their butts and get here already!
