she was caught up with friends
more lively than she
more than charmed,
she tagged along with glee

life was like bubbly champagne
sweet and fizzy
elegance and with a bit of bite
there simply wasn't anything more she could ask for

she was caught up with friends
more daring than she
more than charmed,
she tagged along with glee

adrenaline sweet as a sugar rush
coursing through her veins
she closed her eyes against the wind,
powerful and empty

doubt niggled at her heart
a small worm in an apple
shaking her to the core
perhaps she should stay gone?

she was caught up with friends
more twisted than she
swept up in a whirlwind,
she was no longer free
