Bleeding from this breaking heart,
the storm whirls inside her head.
Memories linger there,
cloying as the scent
of stale perfume.
His eyes haunt her dreams,
ethereal and transient- flickering-
in and out of her awareness-
like the wavering flame of
a guttering candle.
She longs for the day
when her thoughts are not
so heavy-and the echoes of-
happy laughter-cause no tears.
Until then, she loses herself-
in the grey uncertain land-
somewhere between reality-
and the things she'd rather forget.
