At the sea wall I stand and gaze for what feels like hours
I hear a faint voice crying out my name
I follow the voice I think I hear
As laughter starts to fill my head
Someone is mocking me
I don’t know who or why
The hair stands firmly at the nape of my neck
The words Sally Says…
Ring louder in my ear
I suddenly want nothing more than to get out of here
But Sally Says…
…Jump
Instantly
I find myself
Upon the wall
Perched like a bird about to take flight
Now, I’m staring down at the dark choppy water
Wishing frantically for someone
To save me
Because motion seems though it won’t detain me
The sun flashes brightly in my eyes
Flooding memories of time gone by
Sending Sally quickly packing
Now I stand upon the sea wall
Staring down at the crystal blue waters
A dove flies by and gives me a sign of hope
Now that Sally speaks no more
Sally Says…©
