.

some dance to remember

she rests her head in her hands
       wet with tears
coursing through her fingers

shoulders that shiver
       shaking in pain/regret
unwilling to let go
she lingers on

they hold her world
       caught in brokeness
and beneath the neon glow
       of monitors
       and television screens
shining in empty store windows
she spreads her arms
       inclusive
a reality that hurts too much
let the falling rain
       cold and alone
wash across this shiv'ring child

her feet stepping 'cross cobblestones
       turning round in circles
hair sticking in threads

as she dances to remember
       she dances to forget
closing her eyes
she dreads the future

this was inspired in part by a long conversation this evening with an anonymous person ('cause i chose to make them anonymous) though it really has nothing to do with what we talked about...it made me think of a fictional situation...and if you look closely..i even used a little bit o' rhyme (and of course there is a pattern...though it may be hard to find...)

So descriptive... Very emotional.. Well written. I can picture it. So sad... *goes off to cry in her corner*
