She is not
lonely
But makes all
who smile upon her
— lonely indeed

She is not
mournful
But makes all
who implore her
— cry like a child

She is not
boastful
But makes all
who look upon her
— beat on their chests

She is not
faithful
But makes all
who desire her
— pledge from the heart

She is not
vengeful
But to ever
betray her
— the gravest of sins

She is not
quiet
But from the depths
of her emptiness
— silence is born
