Nightime

by Bradley   Oct 24, 2005


Between half moon-light, and shadows aghast
A small lonely girl, wanders past
Blissfully unaware, blissfully alone
As the harsh night winds, blissfully groan
A harsh, hard white, reflecting her skin
Beats down like a storm, On her facade like grin
Her pace quickens, as she crosses the bridge
Her fear of eternal falling, over a small broken ridge
Her canvas of emotion, painted with fear, and despair
Feels replaced with self warmth, happiness fills the air
The night grows darker still, and colder none-the-less
Yet the girl keeps walking, in just a cotton dress
Tattered and torn, her clothes much the same
She falls down hard, her foot catching a drain
She picks herself back up, stands as tall as she can
For this poor broken girl is back where she began

    Great work brad. i liked it for many reasons, one of them being the way it flowed, another being the great wording you used, very intelligent. I also like the way that it told a story, and that the girl did a full circle.

    In the poem sincerley yours, you implied that I left you, when in reality i was trying to make u see that i would be there for you, it really hurt to think you disragarded all of my attempts just to make lisa happy, and anyway, poems arent as good when your intention is for someone to read them, which is what you did. Only advice.
