There were dark clouds gathering
In her twisted mind
And she blew at them
But they didn't get blown away
The wind howled, filling her ears
They grabbed at her, tore off her hair
She whispered prayer and chanted mantra
But the storm didn't cease, only got louder
Then she cried a piercing cry
And for a moment, the world was on pause
She thought she had overcome the darkness
But then it hit her more forcefully than before
So she bowed down before the storm
Powdered glass drawing patterns on her soft skin
She let her blood mix with the rain
Felt her soul empty bit by bit

And so when they came to rescue her
All they found was an empty body
They forced in clean air, filled her lungs
But how can a body function
When it has no heart?
So they wept
For the nameless girl
And buried her memories
In the frozen ground

Then they forgot
As they always do
And only remembered when
Another grave was to be filled
