Interment

She was walking away from Love 

And like freshly slathered paint 

It stuck to her heart

and dripped 

into unknown recesses of her soul

clogging her very being

Drowning

Her

From within 

She was letting go of Hope

But like a newly slaughtered bird

the feathers clung 

and pricked

all the secret desires she had nursed 

Tearing her apart

Shredding 

Her

From within 

She was seeing the death of a dream

And it's last long drawn breath

Took all of her being

And sucked

all the joy that in her soul had danced

Blowing out her light

Interring 

Her 

From within
