The whole cabin by rights, was a dungeon. I was trapped. Once I laid my belongings down on the hardwood floors HE changed. The changed him I did not like would not have liked in anyone. What love or kindness I had imagined, dissolved. He commenced working on my brain, presumably he had success at getting what he wanted. I was in a dungeon long before the real one emerged.

Alone she walks.

I watch her,

Grow closer.

Her light glows.

Soft, tiny dots of lights.

Dance from her moves.

Her breath, her laugh,

She finds joy in birdsong.

Freedom in air.

The bark of tree,

She mumbles a prayer

To an entity above.

This man she loves

I will devour.

Her.

I would bed.

If only

A wolf

As I am.

I want to release

Let go

Fall.

From the roof

Of this cabin

Iced.

You

Hold me

Within

Lies.

My fault

I believed

So long.

My battle,

You.

My diversion,

Walls

Cut by hand.

Hewn by men.

Set in place

For eternity.

My passion

For the ancestors

Trapped.

Hearing free

Winds

Howling through

Crevices natural

Aged.

My romance

With ghosts,

Restless souls.

Danced in webbed

Shadows.

Dust laden

Double paned glass.

Blurred

Aqua blue.

We had so many

Dreams,

Together.

Resurrect the walls

Rebuild,

You let the cabin.

Speak your devotion.

The crumbling foundation,

Gave in.

I gave up.

Walked the lonely

Road to the top

Of the hill.

I could not look back.

Oh, the winds of the valley.

Spiral round and above.

The sun peeks into

The hollow.

No more she walks the hills,

The floors.

No more she calls, this

Home.

The animals.

The trees.

The riverbed fossils.

Have settled back

Living life again without her.

They curse the man

That brought her here,

Loving her at once.

Their world embraced

Her.

Colored, and

Came alive.

Now they live in grays,

Again.

Cold, alone

Iced.
