A Lonesome girl


Alone in the dark, fitfully chasing sleep
The pain too great for the girl even to weep
Lying on freshly cold sheets in disbelief
Coping in vain with greatest grief

For her, her Mistress was all She could be
Loving Her forever, being with Her, was all she could see
But Fate, cruel fate, took Her tonight
Oh dear God, she prays, this just isn't right

Her rump still aches with her life's last welts
And that soaring cruise to subspace she only yesterday felt
And now She's gone, Her life senselessly ended
Her body too damaged to ever be mended

And gone back to God after too few a years
Leaving her alone with her grief and fears
Too young to be alone, only twenty-two
Learning the curse of being alive is all she can see

Exhaustion claims her and she slumbers, confused
As she feels Her hands on her bum that She bruised
"Baby, I'm gone," she hears, "but I'll never be far"
Then she sees a vision of a bright blue star

"That's my new home, and I'll be watching you every day
"Till you come up there yourself, after you're old and grey
"But baby, don't live your life for my ghost
"Honor me, baby girl, live to your utmost"

"Go from here, you'll always have my love
"I'll always be watching and smiling from above
"Bad things happen, things we can't control or will
"And even tho I'm gone, I love you still"

"Mistress," she says, "I don't know that I can survive
"Without you here with me, without you alive
"We built a life full of joy and wonder
"And now it's suddenly torn asunder"

"Please let me come home, let me serve you on your star"
Please, I beg you, don't go so far"
And in her dreams, she feels her agony and cries
"Mistress, I can't make it without you, and that's no lie"

"Baby, I miss you, but live on you must
"I know it feels unfair, but life isn't just
"I promise you I love you, and I'll always be near
"Trust in my love, baby, and never fear"

"Just to prove my love, I have a task for you
"Something in the morning for you to do
"One last assignment for Me to give
"But one thing that will prove that My love for you lives"

"Baby, go to My car, where My body was torn
"Go first thing in the morn
"When you get there, look on the passenger seat
"You'll see what's there, and know My love is complete"

"Yes, Mistress" she said, starting to weep
"Shhh, baby. Now go to sleep."
And sleep she did, till the stroke of seven
Dreaming peacefully of Mistress and heaven

Then went to the place where they'd taken Her car
When She'd left this life for Her faraway star
And felt Her love, its awesome power
Seeing a crystal vase She'd gotten her, and twelve red flowers
