Heaps of remorse cloud her soul,
burying her deep beneath her memories.
Every moment she's alone,
lost in a maze of loneliness and despair.
A single beacon of light in her life,
it is miles away waiting for her to follow.
Tears trickle down her face,
she is afraid to be trapped as she is now.
Healing words and feelings,
whispered in the darkest of night.
Every fiber of her being calls out
for he who speaks to her heart.
Remembering one blissful magic night,
she vows she'll set everything right.
Lessons of the past and present learned,
she makes every effort to break free.
Everything a blur before,
now everything is clear as glass.
"Jersey here I come!"
a little voice inside cheers her on.
No longer full of depression,
she plans for the future.
A single phone call made,
soon she will be free of this gilded cage.
Every heartbeat a reminder
of her true place and desire.
Beaming at the nightly conversations,
crying when her shining light is not around.
Heaven would fall, hell turn to good,
before she'd let him go again.
A single notebook before her,
she writes her emotions in coded words.
Reaching towards the light of her desires,
breaking free of the shadowed chains.
Destruction of that which prevents her escape,
the darkness is fading, being replaced.
This week or sometime soon, she will be free,
lost in a different, better, world of light.
