...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

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
