When her lips were blue
and her eyes were red;
when tear tracks ran down
her face and she couldn't
swallow the lump in
her throat; when she was
feeling dead inside
and out, and it felt
like all hope had been
lost—during these times,
all she would do was
simply lie in bed
waiting anxiously
for a better, less
harsh tomorrow that
would not ever come.
