Another Story Ended For A Girl Like Me Poem by Izobelle Pulgo

Another day, another hope
Another walk down a darkened slope
For a flickering candle of uncertainty,
It's just another starless night like yesterday.

The vast sea and the endless sky
All the possibilities if you only try,
Not with a heart broken, bruised and black
A doomed train on a one-way track.

A hint, a shadow, a trace of a sunshine gone
The lingering scent of a sad goodbye
Collecting fragments of what you had done
Missing pieces of your broken cry.

An empty shell of a torn promise left behind
Footprints of a man who used to hold your hand
He broke you free of a chain you made
He made you see that pain could fade
And that time was but a distant reality.

But the tide ebb as the moon slowly danced
To the song of the wolves, to the howls of the heart
To your loneliness that was tearing you apart,
On a sad night that the moon danced its last.

And to another day, another hope grow
Down a starless slope, you tread slow
For a dying candle of uncertainty,
Another story ended for a girl like me.
