A Single Soul...

A single soul, seated alone
Stares unseeing, her thoughts unknown
Barely moving, her face a mask
Emotions old forever last

The cold night wind draws a shiver
Filled with feeling, gray eyes flicker
Thoughts come running, once kept from view
What was hidden returns anew

Ghosts that will last come back to haunt
Spectres and visions snicker and flaunt
Wrong decisions reviving guilt
Woes of the past break what's been built

Never again will this take place
The door is closed, yes, all is safe
None dare oppose, the price they know
She has spoken with deep sorrow

A single soul, seated alone
Stares unseeing, her thoughts unknown
Now burying at such great cost
Emotions old, forever lost
