Fragile faith shattered
as the sunrise bled
through darkness
a solitary candle offered
a glimpse of light, flickering
Regret, an option
far wiser than despair,
played in the shadows
that single piece of mail
shredded beneath a cold window
Shameful as it might be,
what was passed was
decidedly in the past
And so she welcomed the new day
filling her space with hope
