she woke to the soft
rumble of thunder .
Then heard nothing but
the night sounds .
Something sparked
sharply through the air
and she floated through it .
She had cried her tears of misery.
She had dropped her delicate facade
but it did not shatter .
She had lived a life
of lies and deception.
While she wanted to put
it all behind her .
She knew that there would
always be eyes on her back .
So she let the thunder
roll on in and she breathed in
the night sounds .
In the stillness of the moment
truth came from a place of
vulnerability and solitude.
She knew in time
she would suffer greatly .
The song of uncertainty
broke just behind the dawn
and shattered
those night sounds .
