Katelyn Hill May 2012
Sparkling silver an dazzling diamonds,
An engagement ring hung on a chain.
Resting on her heart,
Just like him.

High School sweethearts,
Together til the end.
He loved her,
And she loved him.

The madness whirled around them,
But together they were strong.
They jumped past every hurdle,
Til the last one won.

A graduation party gone wrong,
He had too much to drink.
Passed out on the couch,
Never to be heard from again.

When she got the news,
A broken sob escaped.
He was her one and only,
She belonged to him.

His parents gave her a box,
and it she found the ring.
She swore to wear it forever,
And to never forget him.
Katelyn Hill May 2012
It swirls into my mind,
Whispering forbidden songs.
The mist of deceit settle upon me
Like fog over a lake after a warm summer day.
I see the cracks in your story,
But ignore them:
Look over,
Move on.
Your web of lies has ensnared me:
a cocoon of ignorance.
I could break free,
But I like it here.
It's easy.
I settle in,
While a small part,
Deep inside,
Fights on.
