Tears of sorrow drip from her heart

As a scream of grief rips her soul to shreds.

Her breath becomes heavy, ragged-

Her features twist into a picture of pain.

As she sobs within her broken soul

She clutches her heart

And falls to her knees.

Suddenly her breath stops short-

No more oxygen can reach her lungs.

Silently drowning in a pool of heartache

She struggles no more.

Her arms fall to her sides

Her eyes glaze over

And so, Death comes to claim her-

Leaving her with the vision of despair

A memory instilled in her mind forever.
