Regret

She closed her eyes as silence filled the room. 

Their voices evaporating into the walls. 

Drifting away, 

Her name nearly forgotten 

If it weren't for the imprint 

She left within their souls. 

Smiling now 

As her strength is regained. 

The air they breathe tinged with regret. 

A battle won is a battle lost. 

They never knew her pain. 

Only seeing with selfish eyes 

A pretty face and easy target.-
