• A woman alone
    a wilted daisy
    all dressed up
    with nowhere to go

    A weight so heavy,
    not only in body
    her eyes are closed,
    her lips parted.

    As if she were waiting for
    it

    A party echoes
    in the distance
    thriving
    even without her

    Her golden heart
    is locked away
    the key
    forgotten

    Her eyes are closed
    her mind is open
    she breathes nothing
    and stirs the air
