It's time to move away* she thought
and without a parting note
quietly took her breath away.

None knew what made her cease her breath
there were gossip and lore and lot of myth
she looked quite a happy girl some said
said others it was her exam grade,
jilted in love, with her lover had a tiff
none was certain she left in what belief!

Was it the anguish of a deeply hidden pain
that made her escape find in quitting a gain
living seemed too miserable breath too taxing
to transcend all these she had to spread her wing!

The hearts she broke groped ever in darkness
for in them only would live her footprint's trace
no answer was there in their wails of the night
why she chose to take off for a flight in starlight!
