'Her Broken Smile'

As she walked across
The street of shadows
Dragging along her broken smile;
Dark and enveloping, they cast over her face
Wiping away with it, all the grace.

She walked, on her tired feet
Her breath, slowly receding
The reek of the after-storm air
So cold, piercing through her skin, bare.

She didn't cease, she continued walking
Like she knew where she was heading
Leaving her footprints, trails behind
On which she never belonged to, this land.

The crackling of the dried autumn leaves
Echoed into the depth of the streets
The shrieking silence, swirled around her
Trapping her in a scent of herself
Bringing her one with her unknown self.

A reason was found, a company unwound
She let go of the remains of her misery
Her bound soul, she set free
The broken smile, hence, no longer did she have to carry.
