Hushed

By Marhaeny

Amidst the hush of the night, she gazes through the window.
Watching the phantom of others’ days,
Wonders what busy things they unveil.
She questions her worth.

“What now?” she pleads for answers,
As the room becomes cloaked in shadows.
The silence is deafening, echoing regrets and doubts.
The darkness is too bright, she loses her way.
