Despair in her eyes
As she looks away tentatively
Shame etched on her face
Misery setting into its place
She has the best of intentions
Knowing
Knowing it will all come back
Back to her in threefold
A scrutinizing intervention
For her own happiness
Never lying
Just leaving out the truths
Misery takes in toll
As she slips away
Letting go
Giving up
Losing
To no avail
