Nescio (27)

NESCIO (27)

The sister disappeared underground.

Though her body appeared to walk the earth, her mind was forsaken; lost hell-bound.

Twenty-four/seven, over thousands of miles, she called for the man who'd made her life worth-while.

Twenty-four/seven, over thousands of miles, she searched for the boy who'd made her laugh and smile.

She stumbled through shadows, bruised black and blue.

Heart aching crushed and out of breath, she longed for reprieve amd willed her own death.

In the end, in misery, she made a pact with the gods: give my brother and lover back; I'll trade in my lot.
