Confusion

She looked up
From her cup
It was night
Was that alright?

She was healthy
She can be wealthy
The curtains dropped
Has life stopped?

She wanted to cry
Her life was dry
There goes the bell
What does it tell?

The bloom in her died
She killed it with pride
The hollow gaze
Is it a maze?

Time moves slowly
Days go without melody
Life is not moving
Is it worth living?

Old age will come
It will be good for some
She has nothing to tell
Does it matter if the tree fell?

Only FREE VERSE may enter the new contest nice poet friend. I greatly appreciate your effort and you trying to participate, but since so few contests allow FREE VERSE this is just for that form. Please write a new verse and remove this one from the contest. I will try to see if you have any which will work! Light & Love
