Dust

Darkness bestows her
As she watches it all fall
Clinging to something
To nothing at all.

To know moments of despair
Braided with glee
Only to be ripped away
Back into the sea.

Is this all life is?
Struggle mixed with hope
Only to be left
Hanging by a rope.

To believe in something
And have it not be true
What’s the point?
This was more than feeling blue.

It’s the feeling that life
Had stabbed her in the back
Hope is once again lost
She’s no longer on track.

For what has she become?
She was innocent and sweet
She saw truth in others
She saw more than just meat.

But that was her problem
She saw something different from them
This made her feel alone
This made her need a friend-

Someone to understand
To tell her it’s all okay
To believe in her words
In what she had to say.

But a human without others
Walks on a tight thread
A human lacking connection
Might as well be dead.

Always needing their approval
Trying to show her care
But she ignored herself
And had to sit in her despair….

Worthless, shameless
Approval seeking bore;
Before she made the decision,
She made sure to shut the door.
