Coursing Fire
By carlosjackal
She forgot the fire
that coursed through her veins
on remembrance
she felt alive again
decision set in her eyes
change set in her mind
this time
she won't get trapped
torn between windows
breaking every mirror
screams of yesterday
turned to silent shimmer
tears
once held back
now as joyous
as iris glimmer

"She forgot the fire that coursed through her veins", that opening line is what really draws the reader into your lovely words. To me, this is a good depiction of what it means to just feel numb inside. Great job, dear. Queen Reb;).
