Tear drops rolled down her face
Glistening under the moonlight
The moon looked upon her plight
And beemed at her with grimace

The cold wind blowing away her meagre rays of hope
The pouring clouds draining her wishes of strength
The roaring thunder shattering her every dream
It was impossible, she knew she could never cope

"Its too much for me to take", she mindlessly repeated
In loneliness lay her only consolation
Yet the world was too cruel, even to grant her isolation
She knew where she went wrong, too soon had she retreated

As she felt her eyes well up again
A faint but familiar silhouette appeared
Offered a hand and her mind cleared
The same reassuring smile, the way it all began

As the figure dissolved in the dark
She stood up and didn't hesitate
After all it was her fate
She would live and smile for the smile's sake
