a light shines
through
glowing
bouncing off one certain grave.

a pimp leans
up against the tree
in front.

a single tear
a single rose
a single grave

it’s christmas
and he chooses to spend his time
here.

he watches her
from afar.
he watches
both of them.

memories, not forgotten.
memories, ties him down.

he can’t let go.
but he finally does….

see why, see why.

there’s a lot of lies.

Here’s to editing the ‘ell out of my NaNo2010 novel for a contest of which the winner will win $15,000 & contract with a publishing company.

PLEASE… please… please… keep your fingers crossed that I edit to the best I can so that I can win this contest.

I really need this. A lot.

It’s been a dream since I was little to be an actual published writer (and not just self published like what I have right now).
