The wind whispers between
raindrops of yesterday’s past
the memory of her last kiss
fades to black
She can see her happiness
stagger out the front door
into the arms of another
perfumed night
Her broken dreams have
all gone to bed haunted by
ghosts of lines left unsaid
In the morning she can see
the sun hanging wearily on the
horizon, casting empty shadows
on the pillow by her head
She can feel the emptiness
swim around inside her as
she drags herself out of bed
In the mirror she catches
her reflection, smeared mascara
underneath her brown eyes
She can spend another day
holding hands with the past
pretending everything is ok
She can hear the wind between
the raindrops and she wonders
how long can it last?
