with apologies and thanks to evanescence for some of the lines used to express the depth of emotion intended for portrayal. thanks to life...for the storyline!..aml..k
ps...one more important acknowledgement...i have to give thanks to a little snow bunny who believes in me...without whom, my life battle would already have been lost...mwes..k

Gathering the shards
Of one so torn and shattered
Reflections of a love once shared
The only one that mattered

Sleight of hand and misfeature
Propelled by fear, in its dillusion
Misdirects the single eye
And there, engenders its confusion

Too weak in spirit
To be the 'Good Soldier'
Everyday..brandishing the sword of doubt
With every emotion growing colder
~
"Has no one told you?
She's not breathing!"
Succumbing to her little death
Awaiting for her resurrection
Her voice in trill
'MY GOD..my tournaquette!"
Holding tight as not to bleed her pain
Pulsing
Coursing
Empty
On the floor
.."so tired of being here
Wounds that won't seem to heal
For a pain that's just too real.."
Is she too lost to be saved?
Tortured by memory
And all that could still be
All that will be
Because, she believes in you
Would give up everything just to find you
If only
Fear
Would
Die
