Underneath

Underneath it all
was true but deadly
evil lies.

She waits as it haunts
 her
  with miserable
eyes.

She apologizes

Nothing she has done,
only stood by, waiting for fate
to cast a shadow over her life.

Breath deeply, slowly she inhales.
Her body weakens her arms give-up and die.
She falls to the ground arms out and
retires, from the last strong
battle that destroys her
inside.
