As she walks,
the ice spreads out from under her feet.
The slow beating heart is encased in ever-thickening ice;
She is cold.

As she thinks,
the emotions in her brain bounce high then low
frantic like sugar high children on trampolines;
She is up. She is down.

As she talks,
her words lash out, beating the ones she is closest too
leaving bloody open wounds upon which she pours salt;
She is ruthless.

As she sits,
the emotions slowly start to fade.
The energy and motivation drain as the day progresses;
She is numb.

As she contemplates,
the rope starts to fray as she works it in her hands.
The necklace of hope is finished as is her life;
She is gone.
