Fragile

She is so fragile.

Skin crinkled

Over fractured bones,

Crumbs sprinkled

'Round her mouth,

Open in a somewhat speech.

Words that make

No sense.

Speaking to no one,

She suffers under

The capability

Of her rotting mind.

Her feet take notice

Of the long days

She has spent,

Outside in the field.

But now she sits

And doesn't move an inch.

Light hits her eyes,

But still she cannot see

What we want her to,

What she should

Be able to,

Even now.

It is not fair,

To take away her abilities,

Her love,

And replace them

With nothing.

She is breaking,

And we know.

But there is nothing left to do.
