how it haunts her
aching and bright
a flash in the night

how it haunts her
taunting and cruel
calling her fool

how it teases
sneaky and mean
defiling the clean

how it teases
quick and abrupt
her heart now corrupt

how it breaks her
shatters and bits
degrading her wits

how it breaks her
blades and fires
lost with desires

how it heals her
sorrows and loss
rock-bottom moss

how it heals her
beginnings and ends
renewal ascends.
