believing, seeking, hoping, praying

to find an answer in the melancholy that is

a battered girl, a simple song, a faerie tale

invented to whisk away a pallid heart - but

it’s just another silly day

and she realizes there is no escape in the silence,

when she is alone tears paint

a pretty poem that no one will hear.
