Solitude is where she lived. Privacy is where she hid. She always thought she was alone, But was never truly on her own. You see, it lived right by her side, Promised to be there until she died. She was lost, within her head. Although so close, she wasn’t dead. She thought she only needed love, Or help from someone way above. But what she required was herself, And to work solely on her health. To find her, and do it first. With no one there to tell her that, It screamed to her, and doused her thirst. It took the stand, brought her home It cried her name, it called her bluff Saw her pain, declared enough Knew her heart, and how she’d lack The silence woke her, it brought her back
Wrote a poem using the phrase “the silence woke her” as a prompt.
