A breath, of silent sufferance
escapes her quivering mouth;
Yesterday's shadows torment
pulses of today's clocks.
Immortal frames of innocence paints
mist in her hazel eyes,
even as she laments, imprisoned,
within her treacherous past.
She bleeds -
her tears melting
phantom mirrors of chasing demons;
She breaths,
in ecstatic freedom.
