Slowly forming

In ducts that leak

Purified sadness

Down her soft cheeks.

Slipping further away

From her bright eyes

That once were my home.

He left her

Once

Again.


Her melancholy

Too familiar

While I know

His despair not.


I was

The pain

That stained her cheeks

Anddrained her eyes.
