Winter turned

To spring,

Smiles turned

To frowns.

As memories faded away,

Leaving us astray.

Every footstep

she took,

The heavier

Her breath felt.

Her response

Was always apathetic,

Smiling a little,

Nodding a little.

The art of controlling emotions,

With a blink of an eye;

Turned into

A miserable lie.

She shut off her feelings,

Limiting her reactions.

The more she

pushed others away,

No one decided to stay.

Her habit remaining the same,

She never even shed a tear,

Walking alone

In the spring breeze,

She could atleast say,

She felt free.
