I was but a child <br /> <br />When she faded <br /> <br />First grey <br /> <br />Then gone <br /> <br />Into nothingness <br /> <br />And slowly slipped away <br /> <br />To the other side of the mind <br /> <br />Razor blades and bibles <br /> <br />Children cut from books <br /> <br />Kept her smiling <br /> <br />Kept her sailing <br /> <br />Trailing cut mooring lines <br /> <br />Into the dark night <br /> <br />On the other side of the mind.<br /><br />James Jarrett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sailing-into-darkness/
