She transformed into an empty vessel,
For transient attachments and fleeting emotions.
But she never regretted her choices,
Continuing to fill her void with unshed tears.
Her heart ached not only for her own pain,
But also for the burdens carried by others,
Those who sought solace in her embrace,
And those whose wounds only her love could soothe.
Yet not everyone desired healing,
And not every wound needed closure.
In moments of solitude, she pondered,
Why her heart remained so open.
Amidst the vastness of the ocean,
She questioned the purity of her intentions.
Tears fell, merging with the boundless sea,
Lost in its depths, never to be seen again.
But therein lay her strength,
A willingness to risk drowning,
In order to shield those she loved,
From the harsh realities of existence
The same reality that threatened to pull her under.
