Clutter - Round Robin 3

She always was a doer.
Even if it wasn't broken yet,
she'd fix it. Her life became
cluttered when she never,
ever threw anything away.
It could be fixed.

Her husband lost his way
trying to find the wife
amidst her things. He gave
up making it work when
she tried to fix him. It
was only a splinter, but still...

So, when her heart
was broken, she set out
to make it right; it was
what she did best. She worked
harder at fixing everything
she laid hands on. Until

they found her buried alive
under all the clutter
that had become her life.
While she recovered, safely
tucked into a hospital bed,
they removed the evidence.

When she was discharged,
she had nothing left.
...She died a broken woman.
