Draconian claws of yesteryear horror
slowly crawled back in her life
and like the shadows of some silhouette nights
it crept inch by inch
covering her velvety skin
with the charcoal soot of the past yore
Her hollow eyes lay insentient
blurred with the error of cracked dreams
and the gore of her shattered hope
gushed in abundance
painting her countenance pale
Faith was sucked out of her soul
and all that remained was a cold quiescent azoic
will she ever revive?
maybe, if she could break the mold
to escape the fright of past
drawing a moat or a fosse
around her deviant heart

Confab With Me 
Will she ever revive?
this words brought tear to my eyes.I hope she does and then you write about the reborn,live, new her😊
How do you express it so very well as if you are living her life👏👏👏
Aap psychologist toh nahi🤔
Your ‘she’ resembles most of us here.❤️ And going by the positivity your words portray, she will revive.🌼
Revival is always possible. Even from the deepest fears and the deepest dark depths. I know. Great poem Shantanu
I was hoping for something dramatic to happen in ur last few lines and she coming out a winner😣 ..but u have left a suspense here😦
Will she ever revive
Yes, she will. If she had the strength to go through bad phase she sure has the power to shape her own destiny.
