A Black Forest

A black forest full of ash , the sky echo's and leaves a path of light just enough to make you hope there might be a way out , so you search , and you find no water , no color, no warmth, as you walk every thing becomes colder and darker and you ask me to take your hand , but I know as the clouds turn in, so will your promises ... into lies. what a demise.... I am the rock... you are but mere sand... you are black and white... I am a garden you do not tend... You promise life... you promise velvet cakes lined with lace and orchestras and touching souls melted like wax candles .... and I remember as you look back at me and your eyes they gleam in my reflection and they turn black and your hands they are cold... and the forest draws close and I realize now that I am all alone... It was never you in my arms, it was always a picture I had, that I hold... hold dear... and I cry... and I lay here in my dress ... and my pretty hair ... sick dressing up for you... and the sun no longer shines... and you no longer lie.. and you say .. you don't love me , and fine.. I don't love you.... And I lie here in the snow.... and the blood drips on the floor... and I let you go ... I have to rip you from me like a disease... and I scream ... to let me go.. why don't you leave me alone... and I changed my phone... There is no more sanity..... written By -Amy Everett 9-13-08
