The End Of Her World

She had lost everyone
Never had someone felt more alone
Encased in her own bubble of darkness
Her everything was now gone
Not used to the isolation
This girl was not yet grown
They now lived in their graves
She wondered when it would be her home
So used to this pain
She couldn’t leave it alone
It was now her savior
Yet she still had no hope
Her once joyous laughter
Now replaced with silent sobs
Her name that once shone with radiance
Does now not even give an eerie glow
