18-August-'09

And a world existed beneath that placid lake, a world nobody knew of.
Dark, as the very depths of hell.
Violence, that betrayed violence itself.
It frightened her, to venture there, close as it was to her.
Night after night she sat, desperate for a cure.
But there came none, willing to enter.
None - willing to brave the sorrow.
None - who even knew.

For there was none
Who took the trouble;

The trouble to know her at all.
