A/N: And after who knows how long, I'm publishing under C.S. Lewis again! Let's hear some applause!
Muriel hears nothing but dead silence, broken only by the chirping of crickets
Oh, well. Here's some free verse (but you still have to pay your internet service provider). Post LB. Susan mourns for her siblings, and for her former self.
OoOoOoOoOoO
And suddenly, the train crashes.
As you take one final, pained gulp of oxygen
You enter into a world we ruled as children.
I want to follow.
I cannot.
Lipstick and parties have tied me to this sad planet
with rusty iron cords that are stronger than they look.
Four days later
The body you left behind is lowered into our starving earth.
I watch
And wonder...
Have you gone to the world we ruled as children?
As I step forward
Empty but beautiful
The world applauds.
The Lion weeps.
My heart soars.
My heart breaks.
My heart stops
And for a moment I am with you
in the world we ruled as children.
Until my heart starts again
And I am back
Watching someone cover your body with dirt.
Here I fall
Empty but beautiful
Worshipping the air you once breathed.
Here I kneel
Before your grave
Clawing at dirt and weeping loud.
Here is He
The shining Lion
Breathing life back into me.
Here I stand
Renewed, alive.
Breaking free of the planet's rusty iron cords
Here I go
Prepared to live
To show the world what I once was.
What I once was
In the world we ruled as children.
What I once was
and now am again...
The Gentle.
OoOoOoOoOoO
Yeah, I know the structure was really random, but...(grins hopefully) if you liked it, review. If you hated it, review anyway!
