From day to day
Barely, She exists
Life swirls around her
Tugging, pulling, encouraging,
But, She exists
Friends call, children grow
Pets come and go,
Still She exists
Chances beat boldly on doors
Wisper seductively through windows,
Meagerly She exists
Unaffected, uninvolved
Unsustainably
Yet She exists
Clutching close to tainted breath
Tears spent in self-conflicted emotions
Wearily She Exists
Marking the days allotted her
Not by living, but by not,
Waiting She exists
