Heart-Ache!

She mourned in his absence, still unprepared

Not losing hope, concealing the despair

Whenever she could, she’d look out the window,

Run up the stairs

For her heart ached to see him, have him near

Going through every new day,

Was like walking bare-footed through a hot desert

Trying to get back to her normal life,

Wondering whether to forget what she had promised to treasure

Moving about with a soul that felt shattered

Left confused and broken, but still happy that it was true and really had happened.
