Let Go
She was beautiful once,
A glimmer of hope in darkness.
Life devoured her,
No mercy for those with heart.
The world was cruel, and dark.
Hopes and dreams are crushed,
Love is stolen and lost.
So all her faith was replaced by anger.
She hated the world and all that it holds,
Her bitterness she would never let go.
Her beauty became pain,
She resembled nothing of the person she began.
An shell, empty and worn.
Her humanity wasted, gone and torn.
She no longer visited his grave,
Her loss too painful to take.
She lived her life, spiteful and alone.
When she died,
No one came to pay respects.
Because she could never let go.
