Damaged
She was here
maybe a second went by
when memories were formed
and scars were forged
Broken things brought more essence
to life than the normal; was it sand I saw
glittering like golden pieces
maybe that's why time never spared her
She was just an empty
hollow vessel; filled to the brim
with a moment's turmoil
and lost what was hers to keep
Pain was an audible matter
that could be compressed
in millions and bits
but only bearable by her
She left in a frenzy
of a millennium thought waves
maybe her words
was a tainted sentiment
