Endoftheline


Endoftheline


A
story of the true life of Delta Dawn OR Condensed by Campells.


The
bus line used to run the city bus near her door way she took it one
block across the square they never charged her fare was free. She
worked for the government but one day she fell in love with mee. The
android eye. We had a lovely time the day was filled with sighs and
no regrets. And then it happened she had become homeless. Perhaps she
blames this downfall that she lives upon the eye but what fault is
man that loves. She wears that flower on a pin she lets it near her
shoulder above her breast and cries when someone asks her where is
that man that used to be here. She looks like she is looking up into
the Heaven up above not in denial at all but just accepting that he’s
gone. In her younger days they called her Delta Dawn Prettiest woman
you ever laid eyes on.

Then
a man of low degree stood by her
side And
promised her he'd take her for his bride eye never promised her a
rose garden. She lives too much in there regrets in alcoholic hazy
days of twisting cheap wine caps from bottles never aged the
expiration date a bizarre torment of formaldehyde hidden in hopes of
better lives. What is that flower you have on could be a faded rose
from day’s gone bye. And did eye hear ewe say that he is never
coming back to the bus stop at the end of every lane in this
lifeline. She carries all her clothes in a backpack and a zipper bag
and sews her layers to skin kept hidden from the sunlight. She has a
heart as great as all the suffering she’s done she loves too
deeply for a man to touch or reach perhaps she sleeps so sound at
night because the light of love and GOD resides in her in Jesus. A
man would only confuse her with a self centered love like some
bizarre tom cat using her for self aggrandizement. Eye could not live
one lifetime to the bitter end but had to choose to live it one day
at a time.
'Cause
she walks downtown with a suitcase in her hand. Looking for a
mysterious dark-haired man Eye am sorry that eye had to leave her.
