Alone

The journey was a long one of moments frozen in time
She smelled the rain of renewal as it fell on her face
And danced in the suns warmth with exquisite pleasure
And the roses, once a constant reminder of her pain
Became a welcome fragrance as she breathed them in
 

As she ran into the cold, abandoning the fear in her heart
She forgot the lessons past that had imprisoned her
Like a child newborn to the harshness of life
She stumbled blindly as she tried to find her way
 

He accompanied her on this journey of her senses
His hand held hers .. guiding her .. coaxing her ..
His voice sounding of the sea with its tranquil waters
Caressing her heart and soul with it's soft whispers
Calming her fears as he tore away the walls of her prison
Filling her with the joy of heaven and the passions of hell
 

She followed him blindly to the edge of the abyss
And as she gazed downward fear returned to her heart
She turned to reach for him for only he could save her
And her fears were realized ... He'd left her in the cold
Shivering and naked with no shelter for her comfort
 

Sadness filled her as she stepped out over the edge
The air cradled her body and carried her to darkness
And as she fell ... her destruction now so complete
Her lips smiled his memory and her tears cried her truth
For she always knew he would forsake her in the end
And she'd never felt so alone ......

Real tears are not those
that fall from the eyes
and cover the face

Real tears are those
that fall from the heart
and cover the soul
