Her Sanctuary

by Mylah Malana   Aug 6, 2009


Sitting on a brick bench near the bay
Is a lovely but lonely girl with long black hair
She feels the warmth of the vivid sunset's spare
That somehow subsidize the mood of her frigid day

Her hair with the wind freely dances and sways
She lets them sweetly bond as if the music plays
She feels the cold breeze smoothly soothing her skin
And gently hugs herself to fill her emptiness from within

The chirping of birds sounds like melody on her ears
Beside her is a splash of water from a fountain of forsaken tears
She hears the laughing of the kids, and finds 'em very innocent
She was once like them, no worries, no fears, no sentiments

Her eyes pretend to be watching the sailing of boats
But her mind is busy reminiscing noteworthy thoughts
Suddenly tears fall from her gloomy eyes, she wonders why
Do the boats or the thoughts that made her burst and cry?

She lets those tears run smoothly down her cheeks
Mixed with different emotions her heart finally speaks
Hidden fears and concealed sadness, all came absolve
Shattered dreams and deserted hurts that once full of hope

She's all alone candidly weeping in this solitary place
No reason to paint the fake smile she used to wear in her face
The world is watching over her, she needs not to pretend
Knowing she'll be understood, she will never be condemned

In here, every eye watches her but no one accuses
Every passerby notices her but never judges nor questions
Everything else listens but no one blames, no sorry
This is her small world, she calls it her splendid sanctuary..#

------i made this poem during those times when i felt all alone..no shoulder to cry on, all friends whom i considered "true friends" left me, they all judged me, some betrayed me..it was such a pain, a real pain i couldnt almost handle..all fingers pointed at me because of a mistake i didn't intentionally do..it was such a downfall..some laughed at me, some hated me..
