“Don’t” her mind whispered

“Don’t do this” her eyes pleaded

“Be different” her heart beat

Weary she felt and heart sick as well

Not wanting to again play with stars and wishing wells

“Don’t” her mind whispered as she read his words

“Not again” her eyes tear

I can do this no more

So hard a quest it seems

To find happiness beyond what she finds in her dreams

Her shadowed eyes scare them all away

Her tragic disposition is here to stay

Don’t let it out is her promise to keep

But in loves safeness the truth does leak

“Don’t” her mind whispers

“Don’t do this” her eyes plead

“Stay” her heart beats

Just stay she repeated
