“Quietly she waits

Waits for life to catch up 
To dreams;
to memories
, 
To her heartbeat
She wrestles with demons

Pulling her further into darkness

Leaving her to crave and to desire
Silently they come

Without warning 
tears, warm, wet 
Salty.

They taste of longing 
of  need, of conflict 
Conflict within herself
Quietly she waits.....
