she waited by the tree
as the sun came up
standing in the shadows
eyes flitting between the plants
hopeful
expectant
waiting
the sun rose higher
the day warmed
but in her heart
ice was growing
still she waited
hoping
the sun went down
in a last burst of gold
and the last warmth in her
went down with it
she stumbled home
with the weight of ice
in her chest
restricting her breath
taking her voice
dulling her eyes
night and darkness
covered everything
