For Ms. S. Poem by TR Jones

A girl I once knew
That was so lonely and blue
Backwards was the only way she walked
Sadness was all she ever talked
One night she told me some lines
That she had put into rhymes

'Why can I not let go
These feelings always stow
It has been such a long time
Since happiness has been mine
My mangled heart is my only token
From this road that is long and broken'

I told her not to cry
And not to forget to try
Because this pain will leave by and by
Then you will be able to spread your wings, and fly
