Words Misplaced

She wonders if this is her final day
and ponders why things turned out this way
she doesn't know to whom to pray
has misplaced the right words to say.

Forever reliving, rehashing the past
(how much longer can her sanity last?)
she sees the shadow that Time has cast
the end she desires can't come too fast.
