About Her.

In the middle of a long forgotten field
Made beautiful by her presence
She sits under the willow
Counting hour after hour

As she waits for the sun to sink under the horizon
A pen whisks it's way across the page
Etching words she cannot verbalize
Filling up the empty spaces in her heart
Explaining the distance in her eyes

Velvet night engulfs her world
A notebook, a pen, and a
Trying-so-hard-not-to-break-but-already-broken girl

She lays her companions down beside her
And turns her tearful gaze up to the sky
Thinking, "Night's like this are worth the pain.
The stars don't know how much joy they bring."

Little did she know
They were thinking
The same thing.
