Description:
This is a story of a woman going through a hollow love for thirteen straight years and never knowing it until that thirteenth year.
The Emotional Song
She was in love with him Dreamed, did everything she could to please him Those days were short and the nights long She had it written all over her face That emotional song "It seems like every day is the first. Your eyes so revealing, leaving me insecure, but always quenching this burning thirst. Every night you held me so tight, wrapped up in your arms away from the worlds harms. How impossible it may sound, but I wish I could be closer to you, just fly away from the ground...together forever." Thirteen long years Even through all the fallen tears It seemed as though things were strong And that their bond would last so long as the sun's burning light Just these little things we never see Thinking such things couldn't be But it was that night that it all happened Everything, everyone up and gone Every memory slowly undone If this were a movie I would hit restart just skip the bad memories and this end Pause it only at the good parts Not like this pain affected only them It affected everyone and it was then their eyes were opened She sat there as the tears flowed Her entire body shaking as the sobs were heard Little did she know, all her pain showed This let down made her as transparent as my bedroom window Its all been let out, but I... I just don't want to speak these words 'Cause I don't want to make things any worse In the blink of an eye he left her Without a single thing to remember That temptress caught the man Pulling him from the little ones that truly loved him But it seems now he'll never see Not even care about what they could be The wreck she became Brought her down so far in shame It felt like she couldn't take it anymore Still reaching for something that wasn't there in the first place Inside her sorrow she sat, that comfort space She kept it in for far too long Now she finished her emotional song "I should have known something was wrong, all those lonely nights you were gone so long. Why did I think any of this was true? You've left me strung so high, and I don't know what to do. What hurt the most was this being all a lie, maybe one day I'll begin to not cry. But I just wanted you to know, no matter how far you go, or how bad this hurts, my heart remains with you." All she could do was sit outside and cry Head tilted, staring up at that night sky That was all they shared now the same stars shining above Her wishes seeming like a dove Flying away with him Her true love, the one her heart remains with. |

Well, okey I can relate in another way. 9 years of lying and pain from several different guys. I really like how you write for the opposite sex's feelings. You're not afraid to put that out there. And, you being a guy obviously, that is freaking awesome and I just want to, *Stands and applauds you* | ~BCute | Posted on 2004-12-14 00:00:00 | by BCute | [ Reply to This ] | I think this has a good story in it, but it sort of drags out a little bit. I really like how this is all about her writing a song about what she's been through. At least that's what I got out of it. There are a few week parts in my opinion, like maybe the 5th satnza, i like the idea of it, but it just doesn't read that well to me. Maybe you could also work on the wording of some parts to make them sound a lot stronger like they are capable of being. You want them to sound original and emotional, not like things you might read all of the time. Anyway, I think with a few touch ups, it will be fine. Hope this helps. |  | Posted on 2004-12-14 00:00:00 | by Amberdy | [ Reply to This ] | Im sure if this is typo'ed or im just missing something | Her true love, the on her heart remains with.
