She loved
the city
the night stars
the snow
She loved Love
especially
falling
in
Love
but now
feels
Nothing
not even the blizzard’s icey teeth
sinking its fangs into her skin.
To her right is the road
that She followed
to break free
of the quiet, safe life
worth anything
and everything now.
Then She looks to
the deceiving mirage
of a new start,
a bright
happy
future
filled with big beautiful towers
glowing their fake lights like amber constellations.
her fault :
believing She was strong
practically invincible
safe
and nobody could
take that away
but in one moment
all that
fragile strength
was lost.
She never asked for
the nightmares
the fear of Him
or for the responsibility of
two heart beats
but He didn’t listen,
said nobody will ever believe her
and once She found out about It
She lost
her
mind
completely.
looking down to the
rage of rapids
She places her hands on her
sick stomach
listens to the ZOOM of the
carefree cars
their sounds verifying that She is
finally
entirely
invisible.
nobody notices
her hair restless in the wind
the hem of her dress
gently kissing the steele beam
that freezes her bare purple feet.
nobody notices
when She finally escapes
when She sets herself free
and falls into
rectifying
darkness.
With love, kelsey
