The Next Chapter

by C Cattaway   Jan 15, 2013


Hidden. Lost.
Finding her way down cobbled streets.
Chaos of the dreams etched within the trail of her feet.
Taken. Searching.
Clouds fill the sky, & her heart.
She never thought they'd separate; move on, apart.

Crying. Timid.
Searching for something from a fairytale.
Hoping & praying, expecting only to fail.
Hurt. Alone.
Holding on to her skirt, to save herself from tripping.
Always needing to gulp back tears from a cup she is only sipping.

Anxious. Surprised.
She runs towards a new path, around the corner of the old.
There is so much of her story still untold.
Scared. Hopeful.
No need to apologise. No need to be ungrateful.
With anticipation, she finds she remains faithful.
