today as i sat on the couch
with my dog right next to me
and read a book with nothing
but silence wrapped around me

that is when i knew
that is when it hit me

the girl i once was is no longer here
she has been killed and buried
her body wilting away piece by piece
like a flower after the first frost

she was once so beautiful
with petals softer than velvet
a heart of gold that helped her grow
until someone came along and cut the stem
disconnecting her from the roots
that had kept her alive

after death
there is a rebirth

she is coming
