Amy is lost in the darkness of her soul
Fleeting memories of love lost in death
Blank eyes stare into the night sky
Searching for an ember of light
Tears clogged behind her young eyes
Barely a woman yet still a child
At eighteen a widow dressed in black
Her sadness engulfs all she sees
Amy’s heart ripped open and torn
Broken into pieces beyond repair
So much pain for one so young
Much more than she can endure
Amy walks to the water’s edge
Stumbles into the surf
Water rises over her head
Burning pain extinguished at last
DARK<<FLIP SIDE>>LIGHT
Amy sits in her room
Dreaming of her wedding day
Mesmerizing thoughts fill her soulful mind
Her heart is bursting with love
As she stares into her peaceful joy
She is captivated in the moment
Frozen in time and space
A bride of eighteen, a child no more
In her mind she watches
Each step down the church aisle
Into the arms of the boy she loves
Wearing her white wedding gown
Her heart will snap the shutter
Of the camera in her mind
Her memory will hold each moment
Of this her wedding day
