Moving on

For the first time
She stopped to look
Around at all the things
She never cared for before
Never gave a glance

But ever since he left
A void has grown
It swallows her whole
And devours her soul

Not much to live for
She just doesn’t care
The pain makes it hard
But without pain
It’s hard to move on

She looks up from her place
Whispers her words
“Rest in peace”
Leaving the site
She glances back one more time
And hears,

“Sister, be strong”.
