Title: Life
Alone
Author: fbi-woman
Rating: K / PG or
whatever
Type: Cold Mountain, about Ada
Spoilers:
None really if you kind of know what the movie is about
Disclaimer: I
own nothing and I'm not claiming to. This is just an original work
inspired by a character.
Summary: It's kind of a little
thing about Ada, after Inman leaves for the war and her father dies,
but before Ruby arrives.
A/N: Um, yeah, I was bored in class again lol. I started this in Swahili, and finished it in biology. Sadly I was flamed the other day on another one of my poems for supposedly torturing humanity with my terrible writing, so hopefully you all survive this, and at least a few of you enjoy it.

Long, golden hair
Frames an angelic face
A creature of beauty
And ethereal grace
In this gorgeous expanse
Under clouds of despair
Her life lies in pieces
She cannot repair
The mountains gaze down
And give no consolation
Hopes, dreams, and letters
Her only salvation
Lost and confused
Motivation wears thin
Unprepared for the world
She finds herself in
She fights her own war
Of survival alone
Trapped in the shell
Of what used to be home
She wears a brave face
With the townsfolk in sight
But she can't fight the tears
That fall in the night
Long, lonely days
Pass by in a blur
She prays for her soldier
To come home to save her
Running on empty
Little fight left to give
Her belief in her lover
Is her only incentive
Loss and frustration
Leave her distressed
All she has now
Is a desperate request
I'm lost without you
Please hear my plea
I need you to be here
Come back to me
