DarkPoetry -|- Silver Spectre -|- Chains

Chains

She talks of a place she wants to be
where everything is better and safe
Where she knows who she is and what she wants
That is everything she never got
While in the corner lay the chains
That seem thrown but are fixed to her dream
She floats around town feeling free
And waiting for the epiphany of happiness
Whilst back in that corner lies the dream
Tied to the post of an ominous decision

If only I could rescue her,
Take her in my arms,
Cut these chains that bind
But in her eyes
I am the very thing
she is trying to escape,
The demons of her life
So I wait and suffer through with her
As I look into my corner and see my dream
As the chains appear and are tied
To something that seems will never be

No words I can think of would satisfy how great this piece is. I feel so drawn into it, I remember the chains that draw me back and can visualize them oh so perfectly. We are all tied down, no one really realizes it, you told it well.

very introspective, showing a desire to be self-actualized in a most articulate way, you have impressed me Silver, well done............urban

wow..thanks urban... I think i am going to get you to write my my preface... Not used to someone really absorbing it and giving such an "articulate" critic...
