She is so lost…
Her thoughts once so clear,
become a storm of emotions.
Feelings she thought she had long buried,
surface in a torrent of rage, despair and desperation.
She wants to flee and seek solace in seclusion,
but alas, events have spiralled too far out of control.
The solace she seeks fades in a sea of confusion,
and she realises she is truly alone.
She is broken…
Disappointment of self rains down hard on her,
she mentally berates herself,
for allowing him back into her life once more.
Seduced by his charms and lies she regresses,
to become the girl she left behind so long ago.
She has mourned this memory for far too long,
and it stings her like an open cut.
Her open heart, her only folly.
She is so alone…
Or so she thinks, for another steps into her life.
He shines a new hope on her turmoil, a way out.
But she is not ready to heed his attentions,
and covets the fading solitude.
She needs time to lick her wounds,
ease the burden that weighs heavy on her soul.
She needs time to mend her broken heart,
Before she can give it to another.

I love every word of this, how is it I never saw it before? How can I have a favourite of yours? It is too difficult but this is up there as it is so close to being personal, except for the last verse which holds hope for the future. A beautiful write and powerful with emotion.
