CHAIN REACTION

CHAIN REACTION 

Part 1.

There she was standing on her balcony 

Thinking of those wasted years

Feeling depressed and downtrodden 

Wondering how she ended up in this quicksand of a life 

She can feel herself drowning in those failed yesterdays 

He came into her life like a sandstorm 

A sweet commotion stirring up buried emotions 

His flattering lips, words like honey from the honeycomb 

Penetrated her tender heart leaving her hungry for his seductive lies

She had seen other women enjoying the pleasures 

That love had to offer 

But her heart was locked away in a vault securely 

Never to be opened, never to be exposed 

But those years of oppressing the need to be loved 

Had created a vacuum and desperation for the very thing 

She had dismissed 

Led by her hunger for love's pleasures 

She blindly stumbled into another conspiracy to be defrauded 

An ocean of deception and lies

Now standing on her balcony twenty five stories high 

Gazing across the rugged terrain 

Filled with twelve year old scotch hoping to find relief 

For her failed and miserable life 

She embrace the thought of a fatal fall

She can see the end, she can feel the consolation.
