In agony she climbs
back into bed
like it’s a mountain.
She claws her way
over its satin cliff face
and finally has a few
moments to rest
and shed a few
tears for the things
she lost along the way:
her passion,
her dignity,
and the love of her life,
who couldn’t pull
her over the ledge
when she wouldn’t take his
hand.
