a/n: this wasn't originally a fanfic. See, I wrote it about equus falling apart when I was scared to death we would all split up. And I was kinda depressed. But then I re read "that was then, this is now" and decided it fit with cathy's POV. So here you go.
:disclamer: I don't own the book, none of it, nada, zip, zilch. :sob:
The wind scrapes against the sky
turned a mournful purplish gray
The air's filled with mist
like sea-spray,
the houses silent
upon the hill
Rising like brackish water
fear swells up in her heart
as shadows
wind their tendrils
among the ivy
Caught by the undertow
of fury, she'd
thrown volleys of
I hate you
at the world
Now she presses her forehead
against the window pane
the stars seem
to blink back tears
but she's all cried out,
Though it seems cliché
for she's just tired, and a bit
confused although she
doesn't know why
memories drown her
from the inside out
She pushes them away, before
they reach her heart
yet clings to them
like driftwood
to keep her afloat
in this sea
