She waited
Darkness
Ever-evading sleep
She stirred
Headlights
Another meaningless act
She wondered
Arrival
So pathetic; so swallowed up
She remembered
Life
Programmed, principled, but empty
She knew
Demise
Concealed from childhood
She shivered
Images
Happy family at church
She saw
Family
Stripped of glimmering hypocrisy
She felt
Angry words
Belittling looks; degrading actions
She decided
Compliance
Follow all that she knew
She searched
Love
Acceptance; happiness
She found
Men
Who used and lied
She hurt
Disappointment
Failure; confusion
She hardened
No tears
None would cause hurt again
She broke
Emotion
So lonely; depressed
She wanted
A man's love
Trust, unattainable
She settled
Lust
Took what was easy
She remained
Empty
Unfulfilled; unhappy
She cried
Doubt
Of all truth and goodness
She prayed
GOD
Forgive; heal; help
She rejoices
Contentment
A Father's love
