Sunlight

Burrowed deep into

Her heart fermenting

In a souring, pitiful

Relationship, wrangled in

Friction and spite

Bruised, repulsed and

Oh so tired, it was time

To realize, take back

Caring not of threats

From an exhausting 
And foreboding lover

She has had enough

No longer wanting

Only for herself

She reaches skyward

Grabbing sunlight's promise
Pledging never again to

Expose her vulnerabilities, 
Forever sealing her

Affections from luring
And engaging winds.
