...Emily Rose *

I was standing there in the silence Watching her from afar... Far from the blinds of ignorance The tombs, of narrow thought?! A girl I had known many years ago Years afore the darkened one's Had come to maim her life... Or at least, the sanity of her mind!? Unfortunate this reflection; as I stood there In silence as I watched, I thought To those the simpler views; perceptions With the painted eyes, of the shallow lives... Caught in the web of perhaps, the forever lost?! The damned I thought, as I stood there In the silence, the silence Until, the silence talked; ironic I thought... As I smiled upon her Soul ~ Knowing the ultimate outcome, that shall befall the lost!? Carried away, as I watched; as I watched * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ...“Emily Rose” * * “There Your Beauty Is * My Dear John * The Trifecta * I Love You * Your Sarah.” *

This one is so filled with emotion. There is sadness and a sense of loss. A wish that there would be something you could do to change thingsfor the better. A fine write. God Bless, JB
