Her Concluding Breath


Secrets whispered like a scandal Though no one was ever meant to know Lies thrown roughly like paper airplanes That shatters this flawlessly broken world Running, pretending as if they were blind She was spiraling away Her eyes screamed for succor that would never come Dreams torn apart at the seams Silent parting goodbyes Honesty is irrelevant now She has free-fallen over the edge Her concluding breath Fogged up the glass As her final words Continued to reverberate throughout Those hallowed halls
