Her

time drags on
slowly
-clock ticking-
it seems that it is always morning
when she never seems to sleep.

eyes opening, glassy,
tentative and sore.
still weary from the many tears spilled the night before.
she picks up her guitar and weeps even more

mourning the loss of her love, her sanity,

herself.


strumming a song in monotone,

she listens to echoes through walls of stone

filling the silent empty spaces.

where he once stood at one time,

and she smiled and thought 

"this one is for keeps, and mine, all mine"... 

that spot on the carpet 

where now 

she only cries and paces

Firstly, the title is awesome...love the idea of monotone and pacing in the same spot in the carpet..this is very good...
