For Robyn,
who makes me laugh in spite of myself;
and
For Jason, Christopher, and Alexander,
who see all, know all… and love all.
the darkness
so complete in its silence
shrouds her soul in despair
black as night
she sleeps alone
forever trapped within its walls
the pounding rain
relentless
whispers mournfully through her breaking heart
the clouds overhead
grey as her life
breaking her spirit
rended to tatters
by the restless, moody
ever-changing winds of fate
her dreams
shattered by cruelty
broken shards of foolish visions
ripped from her soul
by the hands of brutality
the scars
wrenched open by bitterness
resentment abounds
torn fragments of her soul
falling like autumn leaves
the door
slamming in her wake
screaming all around
the castle of demons
she is in the land of despair
the hour again is near
