storm

her silent tears were almost hidden by the raindrops on her face
her eyes half closed and not searching anymore
her face calm for once after the storm, or was it just before
her body trembling to the cold sting of the rain , almost pale
yet she stood, for reasons we may not implore.

her silent tears were almost negligible tonight
was it freedom? or was it pain of survival
her hands were sore,her arms were bleeding
the blood made rivulets down her body
yet she stood for she had no reason to fall

her silent tears would end with the storm.
her body ached to rest , her head felt heavy as lead
her feet were losing ground, her love had left today
years of agony and strife,and tolerance was over now
yet she stood ,tired , not beaten though , not dead anymore

her silent tears would scream out her truth tonight
her mind most stable when she resisted with all her might
her head held high , her being fighting one last night
the fresh smell of peace, the feel of respect surged back
yet she stood ,beneath her feet he lay ,gone for ever

her silent tears would end yet another war again
she cried, her eyes had lost their color long back
her heart bleeding for the last time , no more
she moved away slowly , staggering yet not broken
yet, tonight she loved most, herself ,
tonight she started loving again
