Her aching heart falls heavily

with the longing to trust him.

Trapped in a cage traced with

broken rusty edges,

she cautiously looks in the mirror

reflecting the past.

Images of love and memories of

his elegant being flash before her tired eyes.

Her heart beats fast,

while the dark grows nearer

threatening to last.

She tries to break free

from the feelings that overcome her,

remembering the way he disappeared

from her life.

But, the sadness takes over

and the unwanted hurt siks in

for the loss of her lover

and the little trust within.
