being alone isn't always a choice but ......rather a duty
a year from today she gave away two pieces of her heart
one piece to the ground below
the other piece to a close loved one who needed a restart
two pieces she gave away that no longer glow
Should she compare the day to the hottest California summers?
Despite the heat, she was surrounded by ice
Sweat leaving her body with tears transformed into runners
unable to compete with the ultimate price
Like the corpse she didn’t get to bury
She felt dead and empty
the pain is just too much to carry
looking to the sky questioning “God do you wish to tempt me?”
a year from today she felt alone in an unfamiliar land
today she walks alone forced to hold her own hand
