Alone
A girl sits against the bark
Watching the stars falling against her skin
She wraps her fingers tightly around her knees
Bringing her theighs closer
huddled in her thoughts
having a silent conversation with herself
Scolding herself without words;
about her failures, her regrets and attempting to dream
Her mind runs blank in her exhaustion
She breathes out heavy thoughts
They drift in the air before vanishing and carried away by the flight of a few birds
Eyes raised, she sees their dampened feathers flutter and shine dimmly in a dull sky
Shuffling her feet, she buries her bare feet deeper in the blanket of white
Sliently watching them vanish into moments filled with diamonds
The mist shrouds her head with a crown of despair
Her skin a purest porchline, ready and brittle against the chills
A breeze blows on her, almost shattering her
Pulling at her stiff and darkened hair
The bark scraps at her back
Casually giving her support while scarpping against her pale skin
Painfully pricking her neck
There is emptiness within her soul as well as her stomach
She ignores the pain of her desires eating her insides
Deep set in denial of her sorrows and her dreams
She is here to parish without witness
Without desecration to her pride
