Blankly She Stares


Blankly, she stares ahead

Around her, voices compile into chaos

Can they not hear the screams

That echo in her lungs?

The cries that beg for the chains to break

Loneliness and misery sewn into every vein

Does her heart even beat anymore?

No

Rather it sighs

How can something that requires love

Continue with anguish guarding its chambers?
