Image Contest: Dark and Pretty Pictures

Edit: I extended this by a day because I just opened this up for prewrites. Hope I get good entries from this!!

This is my first contest, and I'm hoping it goes really well. These are images I've collected over the past couple of years and I hope you can find some sort of inspiration in them.

The rules for this are really simple:
-No sticky caps
-Watch your spelling and grammar
-Please make it so I can read what you wrote
-Don't make the poems overly long. I don't want to read a novel here
-Please give me poems, not stories. The site is ALLPOETRY for a reason
-Don't just describe the image to me, tell me what's going on, what she's feeling
-Put the number of the picture you used in your author's comments, please.

Ok, I think that's enough. Just give me what you got. I'll do my best to comment on every poem. For the moment, silver and bronze aren't coming with any points, but if the entries are really good, I'll add some.
