Moment of Despair

 

Snow drifts softly to the ground leaving a white-layered landscape

Untouched and unspoiled it lays and twinkles in the lamp lights

Contentment not found in its beauty, sadness controls all thoughts

Final moments playing over in her mind as tears form in her eyes

His eyes revealed the sadness his own actions had brought about

Looking in her heart hunting for words to explain her own feelings

Nothing comes out except the words felt due to sorrow and agony

Sharpness and the sting of her own pain escapes from her lips

Sending the only man she has ever loved away so she could hide

Her heart deceived her, as she believed that he was the only one

The only one she would ever love and may ever love again

Strong I must be, he cannot see the tears or torture so deeply felt

Deception, broken promises overwhelm her conscience thoughts

Concentration is nonexistent, as she cannot get him off her mind

Her loss of her best friend whom she would have cherished forever

Overcome with sadness as the reality of his words play endlessly

Loneliness creeps in only to fill the void of his loss with regret

Her dream of spending her life with him was coming to an end

She will not be his wife, his true love, his forever, his eternity

Was it worth it, will he walk away or fight for his own heart’s happiness

Wiping away the tears she is drawn back to the beauty of the snow

Her hopes of happiness may never enter her life without him

This path keeps leading her back to him only to deny her own heart

Her tears flow watching the snowfall in her moment of despair
