Sitting in the shadows,
Weeping for the past--
The friends I thought forever
Gone away so fast.

I know I cannot hold you
You've gone too far away,
O'er the mountains of the moon...
To where I cannot say.

A gypsy told me truly,
A heart's a rolling stone
The only one you've claim to
Is the one that is your own.

I've the bit of silken ribbon
That you tied into my hair
And I keep it 'neath my pillow
And I dream you'll find it there.

I dream you'll kiss me softly,
And hold me while I cry,
Wipe away the sorrow,
And love me till I die.

But I know you are a-roving
And you'll not come back again
And the dream it will unravel,
Like a whisper on the wind.

I'm mildly disappointed. I was about to tell you how impressed I was.. and then I read NakedJack's comment.
I'll never understand how people think it's alright to steal someone elses work. Seriously? I'm depressed now. Thanks for ruining my day. >:[

Hi Rie Sheridan, you are an award winning fantasy writer, what are you doing on gaia of all places? Funny how this got a 4 when its written by a talented writer and all. Goes to show you that the judging of art has alot more to with what mood the viewer is in than the work itself. Don't vote on art, and this probably isn't the original artist judging by her profile. BTW, should I report this? Write me back if your Rie Sheridan, if not I'll report it later.

Starting out with a line about shadows had me weary to continue although I'm very glad I did. The piece flows very well and I rather enjoyed this one.
