Heartbreak Hotel
by JG

Those kind, heartfelt words he used...
His soft touch flowing through your hair.
That perfect kiss to seal a magical night,
His charming humor calming your mind.

An unforgettable smile that soothed your soul,
And the sound of that cherished L word beneath the stars.

But days pass
Without his sweet voice in your ear.
Your skin forgets his warming touch.

Her heart stops—eyes blinded.
Across the room,
His hands now move through another’s hair.
The same sweet lines
Persuading her home with him.

A single tear falls down her cheek.
Another room in the Heartbreak Hotel.
