Walking with a Broken Heart

She sits still in the center of the room, voices are spinning in and out of her head, she's so confused, "Am I imagining this or could I really be dead?" she stands up and walks to the door, looks behind her there's blood on the floor, looks at her hands, drops to her knees, tries not to think, can't stop crying, it's so hard to breathe, steps through the door onto the path covered in leaves, the one by the trees that never get what they need, the streets are all empty, confused and refused, to be so damn tempting, so hurt and so used, a man at the corner in black scares her so bad, almost to a heart attack, he opens his mouth and lets out a sound so terrible it shakes the ground, he asks her why she's out in the dark, she simply responds, "Walking with a broken heart." I have what you need, says the man in the street and hands her a bright green crab apple seed. "Eat this, you won't miss, whoever's causing this pain." She takes his advice poison enters her bloodstream which leads to her brain, makes her see things considered by most to be insane, she's at a loss for words, she feels love again, thought this man would kill her, but he really saved her life, she's not sure what he gave her but she thinks she enjoys it, she's feeling so happy, so full of joy, the colors returning to the world and saving her soul, this feeling's rewarding, she's not being controlled, imagination fills her world and music pours into her soul, she started out lost, like me, but she knows who she is now, and there's not a single doubt, she finally understands what the worlds about, not hate, blood, and war, but freedom, love, and beauty and it means so much more, I love the world, I love the soul. I love revolution, I hate control, I define evolution, I have different eyes that brighten the world and understand the sky.
