Anima Contrita

She was a girl who knew not how to speak

She wore that smile

That million dollar smile

To mask the fact that she could not ask for help

She didn't know how

She carried the heavens on her shoulder

With the strength of Atlas.

But the burn in her heart

-that void place in her chest,

Where she so badly wanted to feel

Loved.

Was more painful than when Orpheus looked back at Eurydice, and lost her forever.

And one day she broke.

And the heavens met the Earth.

And two new rivers were formed from her tears

And she was no more

She Broke.
