Fire In the Soul

There are no juicy apples here, No scones with jam and cream, No lazy weekday rendezvous, No love to reign supreme. Alone she turns to face the storm, Though she wants to run and hide, From the realties she's faced with, She said she's ok, but she lied. Security has melted away, And replaced itself with dread, Strategies have made her weak, No more plotting in her head. It's time to pull the pin on it, And see if the **** explodes, She can no longer walk with this on her back, It's such a heavy load. She's not one who likes to whine and moan She seeks to understand But sometimes life seems easier When someone can hold your hand.

Seems to be a tale here, Ruby. Beautifully, but a little bitterly, told.-Red
