Another path.

A poem of how a guy stops his girlfriends dying wish.

Through rose tinted spectacles the madness begins

A room full of memories on a carousel of endless spins

The walls will start bleeding with the grief of this night

Such a horrible act cannot occur in the light.

She comes to me again like so many times before

This time she begs and pleads as her knees sink to the floor

With love in my mind and shame in my heart

This horrible act can finally start.

She is dressed all in white like the angel she is

Her skin is like velvet an image of bliss

Her dark hair covers the scars of her mind

All her life all she wanted was happiness to find

I lift her from her knees and hold her in my arms

Hold her face in my hands and steadily she calms

We walk from the room into the black of the night

The world is our oyster only our future is in sight.

The tone of the narrator had me spell bound and captivated, leaving me only to " curtsy bow " and steal this work for my list..wow..still processing. Yet somehow the title doesn't feel right, but that's just me..

[Jamie]

Thank you :) Yeah the title was what I struggled with lol, Thank you though :)
