Her Love Story
The sun rises,and the darkness fades
Days pass but no one comes
She lives but hardly talks
Under the serene nature of her existence
A clump of thoughts squash her mind
Her face is all dusky
She sets up a table for two
Knowing he won't show up
Apart from him, she expects nothing
She sees him everythere
At the engine station she awaits
A cloak on her left hand
As cold breath comes out from her mouth
The crowds pass by,engines come and go
And she still stands
She's is mad,they say
Look at her,a lost soul
No smile,just a cold pale face
He promised me that he'll come back
I will wait no matter how long it takes,she says
As she stares at a polaroid of their former life
A shadow looms over her
Then she looks up
Everything comes to a halt
The squaling sounds of moving vehicles
The chirping of the birds
All noise diminishes,fading away
As silence takes over
Her face lights up with a smile
A new day come at the vesper of another
And now it's brighter day
A story of life
It's a love story
Her love story
