she lays on the pillow,
her head heavy with thoughts,
her eyes flooding with tears,
and the darkness of the night
comforting her shattered heart.
in the morning when she wakes,
her eyes will be puffy and red
and she'll be more exhausted than the morning before.
but she is going to smile.
because he told her
her smile was like the translucent window
in the opacity of this broken world.
she questioned the heavens
Why take him?
but she never got an answer.
all she received were cold droplets of water,
helplessly falling from the blood-red skies.
she thought of how the world consumed her
she thought of all the smiles and laughs she shared
with people she sincerely liked.
she thought of all her impervious moments
all her unforgivable mistakes.
her thoughts stopped coming
her mind in perfect resolute
her eyes closed,
with a sweet lullaby humming
her effervescent slumber.
