The stone lady

by ScarletHaze   Feb 5, 2005


Sitting there slowly watching, waiting
never leaving incase she misses him
looking all the time at the sea below
waiting for her love to return.

the seasons change she does to
but still she remains
keeping her lonely watch
waiting for him to come back
all the time he has been gone will men nothing
when she is back in his embrace.

a new year begins
a fresh start for all but her
she continues to sit on her spot by the cliffs
waiting for that boat on the horizon
the news her love is at last here.

another year passes and at last news of him.
yet not the kind she had hoped for.
she looks at the welcoming rocks below
and tries to make a jump
that is when she realises she cannot move.
forever stuck in the spot by the cliffs.

all her time spent waiting for his return
never once moving from her place
she died still on those cliffs
her mournful gaze forever upon the sea
forever set waiting for her love the stone lady of the cliffs.

this was based on a story i heard ages ago. plz let me no wot u think.
