Pieces lie scattered
Across the wooden floor
Of a picture she once remembered
Now tattered and torn

Scars on her arm
Continue to heal
From a past she once knew
Not a dream, but real

Words can be so cruel
Deprived of love, full of hate
The memories fill her mind
Reminding her how she wants to leave
Escape from this place

With a note on the table
Her bag fully packed
She’s ready to leave
And never come back

She knows she won’t be missed
Their hearts to small to care
She takes one look back
Opens the door
And steps into the cold night’s air

The breeze stings her ears
Freezes her lungs
And reddens her face
She pulls her jacket tighter
Continues to walk, and quickens her pace

Feeling ashamed
Embarrassed and cold
She turns around
And walks back home

She holds up a frame
Holding a picture she remembers
Of a family once tattered and torn
Now taped back together
