My heartbeat sped,
Like that of a runner sprinting the last two feet...

Curtains bellow in the evening breeze.
Night is arriving soon, it seems...

Flower petals fall
Listen close...

Ink falls to paper
Words begin to form shadows on the pure white...

I waited so long for hope to come.
Restless nights and fights against the sun...

Shards of a broken mirror lie on the bloodstained...
A young girl's hand so red and sore...
