She fell to the floor
Collapsed on her knees
Her body trembled
With the greatest of ease
Her hair hid her face
From the surrounding crowd
Her eyes were red
Speaking solely to the ground
It was gone and put away
Her dreams up on that shelf
Now shattered on the floor
Broken into splinters
Down she was, hopeless
The carpet indented her flesh
Making it raw and goaded
As she tried to clean up her mess
Into the trash
She swept up the fragments
She opened her hands
And let them go.
