Nowhere to go..

silence in broken

by a single drop

reflected by the fire light

as it runs slowly

down her cheek

a salty tear released

through sorrow of the moment...

low sobs take over

as sorrow takes hold

all alone in that darkness

with heart breaking

nowhere to run

more tears released

her will to continue now gone....

curled up in a ball

racked with despair

only the warmth of the fire

and it`s  soft crackle

she gave up her fight

her pain was released

as she slowly slipped away.... . .  .
