The Only Things That Stay

I still feel the velvet petal in my fragile hands

And I still see it on drifting away and on the wind

When I let it go, putting my hope on it's flight

Hoping for life to come together and mend

I still feel the rain pelting on my back

As I learned forward and sped away

Giving it all I had left just to excape

Having no where to go but knowing I couldn't stay

I still feel the sun on my face

As I awoke in a new room, a whole new life

And no one was there, I was alone

The first thing I looked for was a knife

I still feel my hand slapping his face

And the sting I felt buring through my eyes

He stood there and looked at me

But neither one of us could cry

I still feel the cold that night

Standing in the dark, caught in his stare

Knowing life was frozen for a time

And for a split second I didn't care

I still feel her tears on my shoulder

When all I could do was hold her tight

I knew she was hurting, and I couldn't help

But I was finally doing what was right

I still feel it all

It won't ever go away

But so long as I have it

At least something will stay

Your inspiration is back with a vengence. That is my favorite so far. Look at each line one at a time. Each line by itself is full of power and impact. Thank you for sharing that. Wish I could let go and write that way...

Thank you, Ann. Glad to know that someone apprecitate it. I'm proud of it, just because, hey, I wrote again.

I had two more that were good, but I wrote them in a PSAT booklet... Not getting it back.
