                                           by Shirley Rebstock 3/13/2016

Every Wednesday as the sky became dark
Moon beams glowed across the park
On the corner I could see her face
Wearing a maroon dress edged in lace
Green, yellow, red neon lights flashed across her silky skin
Revealing a sadness loneliness of her face so thin

Why why would she stand at the same place on the corner
With a grief stricken look as if she was a mourner
Could she have a broken heart, be waiting for a lover
Hoping for his return or could it be the loss of another

Once I walked across the street
To satisfy my curiosity hoping to meet
This soleful beauty with blue eyes and black hair
I smiled attempted a hello
She looked straight through me as if I was not there

Wait her energy is different this night
I see a slight smile, her blue eyes are so bright
Suddenly she bolts across the street towards the park
Loud honk of a car, bang her lifeless body in the dark

Who was she, what was her name
She haunted my every thought each day was the same
Why wouldn't she speak to me 
I could have been a friend
Her lonely heart I so wanted to mend

Every Wednesday night as the sky becomes dark
The moonbeams glowed across the park
I would stand on the corner to see if I could feel
Her spirit her loneliness
 Encapsulating me in the night so still

I had no answers no peace 
to escape this dark well
Could I have saved her loved her,
These thoughts are hell
In my mind I am in a tunnel
Ah I see the light  
I bolt across the street
 A horn blows, Bang
Dead silence 
My life losing it's fight

As my life seeps out of my body
I see it was an illusion
I could not have saved her
Was my conclusion
Her demon had become mine
My answer came to late
Sounds of the street fading
This was my fate

On the corner I could see her face
Standing so lonely
In a maroon dress edged with lace
She whispered in my ear
Obsessions
That is the answer to your questions
It took us to a place we didn't mean to go
It imprisoned us
Now you know
