Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” - Shel Silverstein


She's sitting on a rooftop
with dangling feet,
a soft warm breeze,
sensational on her dampened cheeks. 

She's sitting on a rooftop
surrendering to defeat.
She's still breathing, 
living without a heart beat.

She's sitting on a rooftop
with red weary eyes,
looking at the darkening sky
trying so hard not to cry.

She's sitting on a rooftop
her bright soul growing dim.
She's thinking about it again
& says, "I'll always love him."

She's sitting on a rooftop
a tear breaks through
she stares as it lands on her shoe,
whispering, she says, "I'll miss you."
