When Past And Present Collide

by Kaylee   Apr 19, 2006


Bleeding rose weathered by the storm,
internal battle picking the petals.
Pricked beating heart dying in his hand,
shattered life ending with his touch.
Ocean blue being pelted with curtained rain,
never concluding every shower.
Windswept hair ruffled from the breeze,
vacant compassion for her damaged mind.

Drowning memories never fade;
they resurface when the tide rolls in.
Taking everything from her life.
Clouds blocking the sunlight
cast shadows on her aching soul,
never letting love come through.
Hearing seagulls pecking
the pieces of her once indomitable spirit,
fragments buried beneath sandy skin.

Heaven listens to her
a pleading voice,
prayers unanswered,
words unspoken.....

Blinding searchlight guides angels towards
the child waiting for the world to see.
Though nothing touches through the fence
she created to protect remaining hope.

He is desperate, but he wonders
When she'll realize he does care
He loves this damaged girl
If he could, he would kiss away her pain.

When past and present collide.

Thanks Simon and Bob with editing parts. You guys are amazing.

    I liked this better than the country pieces and ill tell you why.

    it sounds to me like they were written by the same person. i totally like your aproach to this piece, the language used and the style, but it seems to me like you tried to do the same thing on the country songs and it just seems a little unnatural to me. good job on this one, i really liked it!

    Very intense yet again a real feeling of anger, great vocab and gentle and sadness with a sense of want and hope
