Away
She stared into the sky
Looked at the clouds.
She used to be able to visualise beauty
But all she saw now were clouds trotting across the sky
Away,
Away.
Away from her.
Away, just like everyone else.
Everything else in her life,
Trotting away.
Everyone else, just like away.
But she didn't like away.
Away, away
Until she was alone.
Three times.
Three times she had been betrayed.
Betrayed three times, she'd been.
The first was a tragedy, a death of family
That one time when she wasn't with him
The world had betrayed her.
The second was a disappearance.
Her parents, lost in their own petty lives,
Their bourgeoisie businesses,
Let her dog wander
Out into the road
To be crushed. Like her trust.
The last time she was betrayed
She had been careful. Perhaps too careful.
Careful had become her
She never let her new boyfriend go
Clinging
Until he finally left.
The world had indeed betrayed her.
Now she would betray the world.
If they wouldn't let her cling,
What could she do? Lose hope?
Lose empathy?
She was lost.
