She

She

A Poem by Donna-Marie

In the days

After the crash

The world came to know her name.

 

She was hated

And loved,

With such verocity

It seemed surreal.

 

Nobody came to see her.

The world just spun on it's axis.

Now so aware of her

Yet, so distant as well.

 

Time seemed to waver

around this one event

It staggered,

It stalled.

Reluctant to move forward.

 

Her soul was crushed.

Her dreams shattered.

Living in some sort

Of hollow pit.

 

Darkness was echoing

Around her soul.

Threatening to overcome her.

 

Long, long days

Infinite nights.

The seemingly endless

Array of torturous thoughts.

A hollow life.

 

" It will get better"

They cried.

But she knew the truth.

 

There was no going back now.

She had to wade

Through the excrement of grief.

 

She was forever changed,

Forever different,

Forever.

 

A large chunk

Had been carved from her heart.

Butchered whilst she still was awake.

 

'You can't go back to

Normal life after that'

She thought.

 

'You can just exist

........just.'

 

As the world now considered her,

She was judged be each

And everyone

Who crossed her path.

 

Yet, guilty or not,

Her own mind,

Was judge, jury

And executioner.
