Not lost in the present
Getting caught in retention
What does she do?
Becoming confused
Trying to fight off these blues
She's losing you too...
Oh.
It's crumbling now
This make-believe town where nothing is real
Or so it appears...
Oh.
Please
She's crying out now
Don't let her go now.
The hills, the dreams
All the things she's never seen are here.
She looked to you for guidance, but could you provide it?
Her memory lives on, and so will this song
I hope it reminds you to check on those who seem happy. Who say "I'm fine."
The people you love who are doing alright but deep down they're scared of being alive.
You can save a life
We've all got to try.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
