Gone

The sheets

normally soft beneath her skin

pilled and worn from,

bouncing on her bed

pretending she could fly

she could no longer feel. 

The screaming

viscous words hurled throughout the

home that once held 

warmth and comfort

she could no longer hear. 

The world

full of hope, and of anguish 

once hers to explore

is now too far

gone beyond her reach.
