she can no longer dance
she can no longer sing
she can no longer open her eyes
without shedding a tear

she can barely move
paralyzed in her own grief
from a loss so consuming

he took what was hers without
a single thought of how it might hurt her

he likes to see her in pain
he likes that her smile has faded
her laugh nowhere to be found
the light that once filled her eyes
is burned out and to never reignite

she was his puppet on strings
until he cut her loose
with no master telling her how to live
