She's Back Again

she's back again1

the shadow dweller2

crept behind me, bolted in3

never knew that she was coming4

otherwise would not have let her in5

stripped her clothes6

and stood there nude7

the beauty blinding, but image crude8

smoked a joint and sipped her drink9

swaying forth now on the brink10

she laughed, she giggled11

and fell to the floor12

picked up the stick, inhaled some more13

standing up she sauntered to the closet14

fumbled around and clutched at her purple silk robe15

managing to wrap it around herself16

she tied it in a sloppy bow17

hanging loose as her nipple showed18

twisting around she tripped and fell19

yet again20

a slight moan you could her as she cried inside herself21

hearing it faintly, every now and then22

on the floor of her room23

she would sing and roll around24

her family, all in the foyer25

didn't hear a sound26

staring at the ceiling27

laying there exposed 28

wondering where her life had gone29

and why it was that she didn't know?30

feeling confused it overwhelmed her fragile mind31

and she now became depressed32

some tears trickled down her rosy pink cheeks33

her body limp, and this at best34

covering up, weakly she stood35

to take another sip36

she threw away the joint, her room smelt of alcohol37

and still lingered on her lip38

lost and disheveled 39

she made it over to the dresser 40

prying the top drawer open with her fingernails41

her emotional strength, again, had failed42

she dug through now as thoroughly as she could43

groped at the scissors44

right next to a petal from a red rose he'd given her45

now dried up, dead, and withered46

like her soul47

hours went by, dusk until dawn48

and by the time they realized49

and broke down her door50

it was already too late, and she was gone51

weapon in hand52

she had cut through her wrist53

her final attempt54

and this time, she hadn't missed.55

blood stained white carpet56

her friends all cried57

and wished they'd have known58

but she'd said not a word, no signs had showed59

funeral day came60

everyone dressed in black61

kisses on her cheek were no use62

she wasn't coming back.63

next to her preciously pale body64

now to be known as her rotting corpse65

they buried with her a secret66

no one ever even knew the reason why..67

her spirit now was gone forever68

what had made her want to die?69

Author notes

started as a poem.. well i guess it still is, but so long its almost a story. it's about a side that no one sees and what happens in real life i guess.. you'll see, i think you'll like it.

    Gopd work.

    This reflects our society and how empty life can be without love.God is Love and Love is God.He must be our source and focus.No one or nothing should come before Him.If we surrender it all to Jesus and live for Him,He will make something beautiful out of the most prefectly stupid mess we might have made.

    great write! definitely a poem, it just tells a story. "a slight moan you could her as she cried inside herself" a little typo in that line, it's supposed to be hear as she cried im pretty sure. But i loved it from beginning to end. very intriuging and makes me ever so curious to know her secret. Maybe if the dead could talk she'd whisper it in my ear... i dont even know. well great write.

    much appreciated

    the fact that it is so long is why I controversed whether to classify it as story or not, as a story people know what to expect length wise. As always I enjoyed hearing what you have to say, thanks for respecting my request. <3 heather
