The Dark Side of Love

She sat, sinking into the darkness of gloom and sadness He passed with a sudden glance her eyes lit up a faint smile appeared, but slowly faded A teardrop fell.

Very beautifully written Maryam... the ending is powerful and I agree with Mr. Brian Strand, it does have the feel of a haiku, there is a lovely gentle feeling to this. Thanks for your kind comments on "Invisible." :) Love, Amy
