Nightmare Ending

As the tears welled up 
And spilled over her lids 
Staining her rosy cheeks 
She closed her eyes 
Remembering the wonderment of her past 
She sighed as a half-hearted smile 
Curled at the corner of her lips 
That smile soon faded 
As the tears fell 
Like mighty rushing rivers 
Pounding over a waterfall 
To the rocks below 
Once her mind was full of joy and hope 
All that remained within 
Are the nightmares of pain, fear & abandonment 
Her once pure of light heart 
Now was simply nothing more 
Than a dark & barren wasteland 
Beating slowly within the cavity of her chest 
She craved nothing more 
Than to feel the grace of love 
Upon her soul once more 
She attempted to make sense 
Of all her thoughts & feelings 
Trying to search within for the answers 
Ever reason drew a blank to her thoughts 
Reassuring her conscious with ease 
That she had done everything in her power 
To make their union successful 

Though there was no possibility of such 
She focused her mind 
On what steps she needed to distribute next 
She needed to stand her ground 
Finally on her own two feet 
Take her life into her own hands 
And leave behind this prison of hell 
She had made the calls in her life for so long 
It was not time 
To close the door on this chapter 
And begin anew.
