A Fragile Chance

She digs deep to find her courage,

Believing it was gone for good,

Fear raced through her veins; crippling her broken body,

Tearing asunder the ground upon which she stood.

******

Nightmares turned into her everyday reality,

Her breath stolen before it could depart,

Locked chambers blown apart,

Exposing a fragile delicate heart.

******

Tears froze within their wake,

Trekking along a face of insanity,

Chest tight; she holds on by her fingertips,

Questioning her humanity.

******

From the deep she flounders,

Arms raised, begging to be saved,

Praying for the one she pines for,

Her saviour the only one she craved.

******

Then from the ether he transformed,

A heart attack of a fraction,

She choked on her dreams; awe forced upon her happenstance,

Ten thousand emotions her honest-to-goodness reaction.

******

She dreaded her ability to sleep,

Fearful this was but false dreams,

Tomorrow’s wakefulness an unwelcome visitor,

Leaving her with nothing more than a lungful of screams.

******

Slowly her mind caught up with reason,

Gifting her with a second chance,

Sagging shoulders rose in determination,

Knowing she’ll take this one last dance.

******

Today is all that she has been promised,

Never knowing when the end is nigh,

Fear be damned,

She’s going to surf this high.

******

She’s ready to hand off her destiny,

Delivered delicately into fate’s hand,

Replacing heartache with possibilities,

While visiting memories of blue oceans and white sand.
