Some have been thought brave because they were afraid to run away

More fool them for suffering in silence amidst fanfare of praise

Muted expressions, dashing hopes, bag full of words hidden away

Is it any wonder then that pain leaves a dull reminder in its wake?

Sour lashings, bitter truth, grim future day after day

Burning embers of forgotten love and eyes searing with hate

are sole burdens their heart carries without a moment’s solace

Are waning breathes of trapped souls the only sound of their fate?
