The Woman

Her heart aches tonight
as she misses so many friends.

And she would try to name
every single person, every heart
that she hasn't been able to share,
but the list would be too long...
and she has to work early
in the morning.

But with each passing second,
she finds herself trying even harder;
to cope, to block it out,
to hold back tears that
weren't meant to be held in.

But that's not who she is.
She is an intellectual,
a creative soul,
a writer.

Her biggest character flaw,
as with all of us,
is that she feels too deeply.

Allowing emotions to burrow in to
her heart
soul
mind.

But she's stronger now,
and this won't be her
downfall again.
