Her soul – bright, lively –
Shadowed
in the shine of the sad, regretful, luminance of reality
is still radiant to the eyes of the blind.
A gap,
just before the core,
that even the trusting can't cross.
Alone, untrusting.
Too aware of the fallibility against their
Promises, Intentions.
a Leap of Faith: a sacrifice
– Deliberate.
The self-righteous friend
Dies –
waiting, but content.
