Haunting Past

Delicate and beautiful.
It slides down her face like a sparkling diamond laced with spirit
                                  A solitary tear.
Filled with so much pain and regret but still unable to admit
                                  Needing help.
Searching so desperately but even upon finding is left speechless
                                     Waiting alone.
An echoing ache and longing throughout her body wanting to confess
                                     Her crime. 
Hidden in dark and deep shadows of limbo with no chance of escaping
                                     Growing cold.
Secrets once loved now loathed with the wounds left sore and gaping
