2:15 AM
The fluorescent red numbers gleam in the darkness...

I commit myself.
Shackles encircle my wrists the instant I decide...

Falling Up
The world lurches, throwing me off balance...

Frosty flakes fall from the
Bleak, dark sky...

It's all any girl wants.
A prince charming...

Thunder rolls.
I glance up at the sunless sky...

Brushes of a fingertip
Skin on fire, breathing quickly...

The cold marble slab
Presses through...

The wind howls.
I pull my jacket tight around me...

Blurs of color assault my vision
As elegant ladies...

I stand, defiantly.
Trembling, heart racing...

A small room,
Blood stained...
