The faith she nurtured overtime
had defeated her soul,
like a blemish
it appeared stark naked
on her mind’s canvas
and the chaos
drown her into a ravine
and she watched her helpless self
slipping into nothingness
one leaf at a time,

Such tragedies often happen
when faith is betrayed,
for we are left with nothing
but an uncalled vacuum
to deal with in our life
