Reality Poem by Lois doyle

as time goes on a heart is lost
two friends lost in a tragic end
something to say isn't just a word
a life, a spirit held inside
no matter how many tears her eyes cry
her heart smiles a thousand times more
only because what she has lost
she knows she cannot find again
reality seeps into her mind
losing every ounce of dignity she had as she falls
but she regains a title when she stands back up
just like the rest of us who tell a different story
were never alike even when we pray to hold something that isnt ours
the difference is who strives to recieve their own gift
were given a candle
the flame can burn for years if we mend to it
or it can burn out and we are lost in the darkness
but the choice is always up to us...
