#19 - A Landay

From today's prompt:  And for today’s prompt (optional, as always!), I’d like to challenge you to write a landay. Landays are 22-syllable couplets, generally rhyming. The form comes from Afghanistan, where women often use it in verses that range from the sly and humorous to the deeply sardonic and melancholy. 

In breeze her spirit, haunting, withdraws
Time stands still where last she gave in to her tragic flaw
