she has gazed
into the eyes of medusa
has become
impenetrable
inaccessible
she has lost control
of her anger
resistant
unashamed
she refuses
to look back
won't allow
even a peek
—
she knew
he loved differently
but she's broken
her own heart
by allowing it
to hold the reins
bandaged up
what she could
but when it
inevitably
bleeds through
he will look
for her again
