my love is a feeling
deep within my
soul
constantly burning
to take
command
dreaming like it's night all day
no
matter the light outside
Blooming like a rose in
summer
Dancing like a raging fire
rolling like
a smooth rock down a grassy hill
waiting like a
wolf for prey
for my love to join me
will he
come?
dashing like a cheetah over the top of the
hill
moving like a cunning cat
whispering like
a bird
the little forest animals scatter like
prey
as he comes trotting toward me
spinning
away like a wheel
i know i cannot face him
my
heart goes out to him
as the four men begin to
chase him
i flinch as the gun goes off like an
explosion
not just in the cool night
but in my
heart
and all is silent like the night when we met
here
I betrayed him. And for what?
for gold?
for money?
no, i betrayed him for
love.
A woman tries to
protect the man she loves, and someone she cares for
dies as a result.
