Indifferent Love

She stood at the sink 
with her head in her hands.

Fully knowing this wasn't
the life she'd planned.

Life's seasons  were getting
shorter and colder.

Her bones sing their misery
both louder and boulder.

Drained by the cruelty of
a love gone indifferent.

Inside she crumbles seeking
strength now unapparent.

A glimmer of hope looms
in a distant light.

Her prayers will soon be answered
and end her plight.

This was an old woman I knew in my neighborhood and I watched her just fade away. I guess she had had enough. At the end the neighbors took turns stopping by to care for her as he didn't. Thanks for your kind review. TLee
