Twenty-Five

Her eyes

Pooled water

Like a dry lake

Finally getting rain


Her soul was crushed

Weak and young

Not strong enough

To defend herself


She only had one

Who kept her safe


To sing to her

Throughout the thunderstorms


The one that caught her

Before she would fall

And kissed on her cuts

No matter how small


She had the one

With enough energy

To work two jobs

And still be able

To push her on the swings


She was lucky

Or so she thought


When she could finally

Swing on her own

To let her only hope rest

It came back


And it not a he,

The soul crusher,

Who stole her away

From the one who kept her safe


She was curled against the warmth

Only to be brought

Back into

The cold



I was deciding whether or not to put this in The Lemongrass and Willow Trees story but I decided this poem best fit here. I'm so sorry I haven't written anythng for a while. School has been really stressful in this first month.
