She is lost

She is lost

she has been obscured from view

when she speaks, no one hears

when she tries, no one sees

she has been hidden from sight

she has lost what she loves most

and now

she is

empty

  • Promise

    I stopped here. I ceased my walking and stood here, for as long as I needed to be until they came. I wait for them. They haven't come yet.
