sparrow

false hope had led her to believe that
maybe one day her fairy tale prince
would come and save her on his
brilliant white horse
she sat in her empty apartment listening to the noisy dissonance
waiting patiently
day by day went by men walked in and out
of her life all wearing no crown
pain physical and emotional was all
she felt until finally hope left her like
a sparrow in the coming of the frost
she continued living with a blank stare
glued to her face
communication between others no longer
existed
one by one her friends walked down the aisle
until she had none left
the beating ocean waves were her only friends
now but even they could not fill the void implanted
by those perfect childhood movies she replayed in her mind
she one day up and left her home her adolescence and what used
to be her happiness
a familiar kind face looked at her on the plane
miles up in the air
a smile crossed her face for the first time in what
seemed like years
he rose from his chair and managed his way
until he was seated next to her
his hand was warm and safe on hers
happiness and hope rekindled with the stranger
and then she fell in love

So sad..... then a sugar sweet ending.

An interesting update of the cliche'd fairy tale..... though it still begs the question did they really live happily ever after?

I think there's more to tell in this tale but I enjoyed reading what you shared with us so far.....

Thanks

Gosh, thank God it did a turn around... what more do you want walker? the wedding cake and the babies? lol, the never ending story.

I enjoyed it because I sensed its personal to the writer.
