Days of Emptiness

She sits by herself
on the grains of white sand
basking in the warmth of sunshine 
staring out at the sea 
while waves of sapphire blue crept towards her.

Tears stream down her face, 
another day of emptiness, 
another day filled with pain.

This was where they made love 
when they first met 
under the cover of midnight
and the waves' lullaby.

She closed her eyes 
thought erupt in her soul
holding him once more 
leaving a calm.

     He was gone. 

          Or was he?

Eve, this was gorgeous and heart touching and I like how the ending leaves it open for perhaps a little happiness to appear. I love the word choices in this and how it rhythmically flows like the sea she is gazing upon. Best of luck in the contest
