Remembrance

Her eyes froze in time..
Her anxious hands touch the strands of her brittle hair.
She was left alone,
So young..
So afraid,

 Resentment made her skin ill
She was tired,
Fragile,
Broken......

She sat down and reminded her bitter heart
Of the days when the sun used to rise right over her sheets,
 
And the moon used to shine just for her,
The stars would keep her company till dawn..

In time she remembered...
She remembered why she'd become so tasteless ...

Her heart was torn from her veins,
She screams in despair...
Just wanting to understand why?
Why?
Why did you give up on this stubborn heart?

When will her hands let go?
When will she allow herself to be loved?

So there she stood with her hand on her shoulder,
Thinking of the days when the sun used to rise over her sheets...
 when the moon would shine just for her,
And the stars kept her company till dawn...
