[hometext] => 2nd in the trilogy, she is sorry for how she acted in
[bodytext] => The Shadows on the Wall As she lays in her room recalling the night The shadows dance and kindle her fright Why is she so afraid, what went wrong He is a gentle man a singer of song… The cold wind blows through the window She must get up and close it soon But for some reason she is paralyzed As she stares at the bright white moon She recalls the events of the evening As he held her close and kissed her again She remembers the fun they had And all the places they had been He treated her with respect As they traveled from place to place She remembers the way he looks at her When he stares gently into her face She hears a sound, what can it be As the covers are pulled over her eyes She wishes he were with her now He always holds her when she cries As the shadows grow larger She continues to remember the day God she misses him Why did she push him away The broken glass is in the sink She left it for tomorrow She was so happy that he kissed her She smiled and forgot her earlier sorrow Gone, for a moment, is the fear And she recalls his long tender kisses His strong arms, his gentle touch Now she knows what she misses She reaches out to touch his pillow And suddenly remembers he is gone As another song asks the question She also wonders “…what have I done…” She is crying as she remembers the past few hours And the events that brought her to this place See can see it as clear as reality She relives the memory that is in her face… “The door closes quietly behind him As he shuffles down the long dark hall She crawls into bed and turns off the light The light and foreign objects cast a shadow on the wall” The painful question continually haunts her About her only lover, her Number One She cries out in the night “will someone please - please - please tell me… I am begging you… What in God’s name have I done?” Copyright © 2001 Roland [comments] => 2 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 48 [informant] => IndyRenegade [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
