I wrote this in 2000. It's been published. I think I was a semi-finalist in the contest and I could've gotten a plaque and a free copy of the book it was in but I'm too shy for all that... ^_^ Sorry, Montel.
~Lonely One~
Staring at this barred window
Tears slide down my face
Wishing, praying, please don't go
I'm falling from your grace
Our hour of love is so far gone
And yet I still feel you
Waiting, imprisoned, for so long
So sad-you feel it, too
I'd rather live this pain alone
Than see you suffering
For this cold and lonely drone
Is all our love will bring
No one seems to understand
All the sorrow they have caused
And on this dead-blackened-land
Our memories have paused
For if I could hold one single day
In the palm of my empty hand
I'd give us wings to fly away
And live a life so grand
