Renewal

The drive home is short, but feels like a maze. 

I grasp my keys, feeling as if they will melt in my hands. 

The door is still locked. 

My hands are shaking inconsolably. 

While she was not revived-

She has been renewed. 

I drop the keys-

And am stricken by the sound. 

I feel like a monster. 

But I am simply an observer in this life.
