Teenage Dreams 3

Teenage Dreams 3

Walking in the night
The darkest stretch of road
Cars passed by, fell to my knees
Fingers flatten at the scene
No grand piano for this girl

Love of music died with every lesson
Trying to use these shattered hands

*Was just a dream*

How sad this is... is it a true write? even if its not it is delivered so well that it instills the pain and longings of the dreaming girl with the shattered hands... moving piece here Barbara... Richard

True or just a dream

it sent shivers up my spine. Excellent as usual Barbara. Respectfully, Rett: "Life is like a beach. Salty, gritty, somewhat fishy and at other times, downright crabby" Rett: 2008
