Disappear
The rain glistened on the window
sliding, stirring
making pictures on the glass
as the tears poured down her cheeks,
running down, blurring the letter below,
smudging the words, distorting the letters
not that he would read it anyway,
how she wished she were a raindrop
running freely down the glass
until at last it disappeared.
The snow fell silently upon the glass,
making no sound,
like thieves in the night
how she wished that she too
were a silent snowflake,
yet in a way she was,
her heart was melted,
her soul near froze
no one heard her quiet screams of pain
and soon she too would disappear.
