With each moment, I walk closer and closer to the valley that takes me
to the skies.  
You and I know the valley. It’s spoken of before we depart.
Before I walk through, I want to tell you…
We grow older…instead of warmth I feel cold, are you?
Faces frozen in time.
Feelings left to be told.
Tears held in, swallowed whole.
I was dead before departing, with every sharp word, you took a piece
Of me.  
Love?
Love… still, it’s here...

 
What did I become in this life?
Child bearer, convenient housekeeper, someone
just someone…

You left me a long time ago!
With you by my side, I’ve walked alone.
No hand to hold.
Blank stares and, no response.
Alone, taken the world on , in front of those who  need me.
And those who stab me as I try stepping  forward.
Pushing as I’m being Pulled.  
You, to say, Nothing
And your nothings are awful!
Your something’s are worse
and your looks ****.
I raise my hands to the skies
questions unanswered.
Tired, I don’t need to know.
