words of suspicion and accusation
issuing forth from the lips
of one beloved or cared about
blindly, impulsively, ruthlessly
cutting the heart of an innocent
who wrestled in her pain alone
eyes drowning in pools of tears
chest tigthening
heart heaving in anguish
why, why, why?
she let herself be hauled
by the force of a whirlpool
swirling down in a suffocating hole
swallowed by gloom
willingly, not a whit of struggle.
then suddenly, inexplicably
she emerged out of the whirl
refined and recharged
unafraid to face
whatever arrows aimed at her
past hurt confined to oblivion
not a trace of ill feelings
transcendent love has conquered
she came out triumphant
... as always.
