Within Her Heart

Within her heart

Within her disassembled heart she saw a world of pain.
The loss of a thousand lives obliterated.
Brief memories no longer remained.
Whatever mattered within her heart, it drove her insane.
Emotions in essence deteriorated, with nothing left to gain.
She felt as if she had to run an hide.
Now leaving a lost soul no one knows inside.
Within her heart is a losing battle she wishes did not exist.
Stuck within a world of uselessness. 
Unable to break free.
With no one left by her side.
Within her heart is where she will be.
