Just A Cry

she tried to muffle the click with outstretched hands,

and the door closed softly

leaving no trace of movement behind.

trying to focus, trying to walk.

and she moved,

her eyes on the narrow street ahead

her breath catching slowly

her legs turning to stone

as dread filled her heart and emotion

huddled its beat.

trying to focus, trying to walk.

again and again she tried to hold it back,

this pulse that threatened,

yet she lost to intensity

and she lingered, she looked back, stumbled, fell, hurt

trying to focus, trying to walk.

a cry escaped from her throat as reality overcame her

tasted blood and gravel on her lips.

pain, oh battering pain.
