She walked down the silent road

All beaten up, it was

Her breath was slowed

All 'cause

What she left behind was sad

But what lay ahead was unknown

She summoned up all the courage she had

Now she was alone.

Only the trees to guide her

But that was fine; she had already known companionship

No matter how she had been treated

She left that behind

All she ever said before was 'yes, sir!'

With an apple at her hip

And a blanket that had been heated

It was not right to rewind

That which she wanted to forget

She walked on, into the sunset

That was nothing to regret

She didn't find anything. Yet.
