Onions

Tears roll down soft cheeks

Falling from a quivering chin

Soaking a shaking shoulder

Drops of liquid emotion

 

Feelings swirl in their minds

Happiness for all that’s past

Misery for the long days ahead

Helpless frustration

 

Blue eyes stare pleadingly

“Just let them stay

It wasn’t enough time

We can part some other day”

 

For a moment the crying stops

Promises are exchanged

Yet hearts already ache

A memorable quote is all it takes

 “Parting is such sweet sorrow”

And tears run anew

 

This time there is laughter

Nervous giggles

One last moment of joy

 

Glancing at one another

Adoring smiles are shared

Before trembling lips meet

 

The kiss stays with you

Soft, sweet, a little messy

But a cherished memory

From when goodbyes were said
