She did not think she had any shine
as she slumped in the corner,
he had chosen not to love her once again.

No words could mend her pain,
the ache wrapped its way around her body -
seeping into her bloodflow,
Poisoning all the love.

I took her by the hand, to drag her down with me,
Deep down through my darkness,
to the pit of misery

and there she saw the light, the flicker of an ember which gave way to the dark -
*"there's your shine, I kept it hidden, to light the way through my dark"
