Looking Out
~~ Looking Out ~~
A Poem by Debbie_Philly
This was inspired by a movie called "August" with Anthony Hopkins...... the end made me think of this :) Just a little piece.
Always Looking Out
Once there was music... then the music just stopped
Once there was dancing... then the dancing just stopped
Once there was laughter.......
Once sun beat on her face.... then there was only dark
Where is the sun?? Where did it all go she asks?
But wait....... theres the window... she always
liked sitting by the.......
She sits by the window never able to leave
her fears keep her there,even in death her
fears keep her there.
Children catch a glimpse and wonder what they
see, no one has lived there in ages.
They should be frightened, instead there is
only pity for her eyes are sad as limpid pools
of blue always teaming with tears for a life
never lived.
There is nothing more frightening then the pain
of a soul gone yet trapped in time
Dont look into her eyes they make the heart beat slower....
so slow you can hear it in the dark beating
till the sound is gone and the life is gone
Sitting by the window waiting for rescue
day after day, year after year watching
the children play.
Once she had hope with passion .. so much passion
Then everything stopped ...... like the beating
of her heart , when the lights went out
the only brightness came from the glass pane
calling her to a life with no means to live
