While Justice Sleeps

by Rachel D Fogle   Feb 18, 2004


Cruel & Angry,

Bitter & Sweet.

Gentle & Kind.

So far from reach.

Burdened by pain, killed by hurt.

Living in the shadows, no way to cope.

He took from her a precious thing,

He came in her home, and watched her sleep.

In a moment it was over no time to run.

She lay in her hollow and wonders what has she done.

Rage unknown is in her heart,

Fighting her demons to heal her heart.

She wakes each day and thinks of him hoping to find a reason to live.

Then something happens, a beautiful gift.

Nine months later she has her wish.

And in her heart she cannot forever,

But While Justice Sleeps her heart has healed.
