Faithless and numb she stands.... Green eyes rimmed with red, lip quivering... Thinking “Now I’m a child again...” Her heart bleeds for him.... He was so cold where he once was beautiful and he left her broken like yesterday’s toy. She shudders to think he was ever the only one she dreamed of. His words spewed forth like so much venom. And another love she’s reached for, he too destroyed her... and they all wonder why she hates to love why she’s void of faith why she’s empty and waning. She hears the harsh words again, cursing her, screaming her name. She strikes her head to quiet them, if even for a moment... She cries and cries “Why me?” All is still, and she prepares for tomorrow’s broken heart Nurses yesterday’s open wounds Quietly suffering while others tell how how much worse off they are. Wishing she could close her eyes, drift to sleep, forever, and ever and ever......
