The doors are locked and the blinds are closed,
It's by the flickering candle light that she's found crying again.

It's quiet this time too.

The tears roll down her face but she seems unaware,
Almost blank.
Her mouth is closed in a thin line but her chest, it heaves.

With shaking hands she wipes her face,
Mouth opening to let out a whimper.

She takes a deep breath before blowing out the candle.

To the darkness she returns.
