| Watery Dreams by J. Binford-Bell |
Oh, poor Ophelia
Led down the primrose path
Awash in another's world
Of promises made
And not kept
Overwhelmed by what might have been.
Poor Ophelia
Afloat in a tide of lies
Driven to choose by a mind gone mad
The lure of watery grave
Over a nunnery.

what a tortured mind...and what a choice as well in the end she had...freedom over the confines...
