Obsidian

Rate: 5 Flag

Through every storm and every hurricane her oceans never stirred
Upon reflection though she cannot say how it's altered her

It never rains
It pours on her
As the stains wash away
She will keep on keeping on until there's nothing left for her 

Lying to her would be suicide after all she's had to take
But where to go beyond the red stop light? 
Across the borders that she makes 

It never rains
It pours on her
And as the stains are washed away
Will she be ok if she keeps on keeping on?
Oh she will keep on keeping on until there's nothing left

No-one has had it worse than her she'll have you believe
She has so much love to give and to receive

But she will keep on keeping on until there's nothing left
She will keep on keeping on until there's nothing left for the girl called "Obsidian"

I don't like her. I like obsidian, but I don't like her.

Gonna have to read this a couple more times. My favorite is the stop light across the borders that she makes.
JL,
Thanks for this beautiful piece. There's insight gleaned from knowing what Obsidian actually is. This was layered, rich, and great to read.

I'm always very happy to see you've posted.
Rated and appreciated.
You have a lovely gift here, JL. You do gorgeous things with words.
Lorraine, thank you again so much for including this in the colours and for your selfless support. You are a treasure.

Skele, it's easy not to like her until you understand why she is the way she is. Heroin is an ugly bed fellow. I love her unconditionally.

Dennis, I'm always glad to read your comments, You never fail to say the right thing and your responses are thoughtful and well measured.

C.K., a pleasure to be read by you, the gift is not so much in the words as in the sharing.
Absolutley amazing and so very thought provoking. I can see how every person who reads this post could have a different take on "Obsidian". Thank you for posting - maybe we all have a tiny bit of "Obsidian" in us that given specific circumstances could make an entrance?
