Twilights Ghost.

-Twilights Ghost.-

The sun was setting, as she put on her black dress,
Draped the necklace on, a cross above her chest.
Spritzed on the perfume, colored in her eyes,
Silencing her lonely hearts' desperate cries.

She coated on make-up, staring at her reflection in the mirror,
The stroke of midnight edging nearer.
She tucked her baby in, kissed his eyes to sleep,
Closed the door behind her with a soft weep.

Her hair was wisping in the brisk wind,
The street lights glowing upon her sins.
Her wrist was signed, her lipstick was smeared,
As into the cemetery gates, she peered.

As the gate creaked open, she walked toward his grave,
The voices inside her head telling her to be brave.
She stopped and layed the flowers down,
As the rain fell and her deceit started to drown.

She whispered good-bye as she turned on her heels,
And twilights ghosts silently squealed.
She danced her troubles away, as she crashed through the gate,
Slowly washing away the remembrance of his fate.

- - Probably confusing, but it was meant about saying good-bye to someone who is dead to you. Metaphorical, or reality. - -

    A very Twisting and Turing kind of poem. even with the information on the bottom i found my self thinking and contemplating what this was about., to me it seemed like she 'killed' him., whether actual murder or she cheated on him and he dies soon after. and she feels responsible. i like how i got to imagine. some poems basicly spell everything out for you, this one makes you wonder, and i like it, (i like the other ones too) but i felt like i was walking ne\xt to the woman and could feel her fear and emotions. this was very well written.

    Not confusing at all, doll. I reallly liked it.. Rather sad. I'm not really sure what to say, for once, so forgive me. It was a powerful poem, though a bit too much of pronouns for me. Nonetheless, it was great.
