lost in crumbling fragments
of her very own
confusion
now the dragonflies
have all but
disappeared
nothing's left any
more from all
her deceptive
illusions
the medicine cards
foretold of all
she feared
the castle wall
captured her with
the chains so bright
and alluring
thought that she could
be bridled for
only one man
at last
the aching floored her
as it began its'
fateful stirring
being with him she
thought she'd be
able to heal her
past
condolences for her
loss have long
since been given
she's been made a
widow without
benefit of any funeral
she feels that from
now on she'll not really
be livin'
her love was sentenced
to death after this
devastating tribunal
how much longer is it
on this charted plane
that she must endure
left broken-hearted
and betrayed her
soul has been forever
crushed
no more promised
futures that anyone
for her will
ensure
her tears fall endlessly now
as her world becomes
so hushed
by initiating some damage control
the peace will come just long
overdue
she's learned to shut her
heart down and
put her mind on
numb
find her path westward
turning her back on
the glass-slippered shoe
losing herself on a trip
and a drop
drowning in her vat
of rum
at one time his
passion filled her
life with joy
she had been so free
she'll not find herself
that safe again for
she's been cast aside
until the 'morrow
soon enough
she will be spent
no will left for her
to utter any pleas
another day spent without
his love she'll never be able
to survive this sorrow
