Standing Tall

The cold seeped into her bones

Abandoned for the things she could not condone

Perhaps it was already set in stone,

That her beloved would roam

She suffered pain from the cold

As she had suffered pain of the heart from things left untold

Going through restless nights

And those endless fights

There was no one to lean on

No one to keep her grounded

She had to stand alone,

As life had demanded
