If she had dared consider her plight

she would’ve given in to anguish

at the dashing of her dreams

 

her voice would thicken

with emotion if she’d dared to speak

and her fears would’ve destroyed her

 

Time had come to her rescue

erasing those hot tears

that had once been the facewash

of her past
