Herculean Thoughts

IV.

song serenading the
empty soul inside her as
tears gushed from her puffy eyes
and nose clogged with overwhelming
sadness that the air
can't almost reach the lungs.

stifling her sobs
she closes her eyes
she embraced the emptiness
embedded in her very soul
even she doesn't know
the exact reason of it all.

maybe she gave her best
or maybe she's just deluding herself
she thinks she made it through
yet why's the emptiness stayed still

she knows she longs for an embrace
so warm and comforting she wants
but she doesn't have anyone
she can call for help
for all her life she'd worked alone

now the tears were her only companion
they would never leave her side
they will stay forever
so as long as she can cry
she won't call for help
