Miss Melanie Greene V

A trauma from childhood

Never divulged in entirety

For uncertainty in exposure

Misplaced fear of wanton destruction

She was close to baring all

But thought it too powerful

If dealt in one blow

So she told Jon in bits and pieces

He connected the dots and dashes

But could not help in healing

He was positioned off-secours

For although he had her allegiance

She'd pledged to a different flag

Never got used to living with that pain

Like protracted illness sure to be terminal

Imagine the strength of Ms. Melanie Greene

Who lived without her heart

Yet was compassionate and loving

Who was scarred by a past

That slowly consumed her from within

Constrained 'til her death

Ms. Melanie Greene: She lived for others
