Still..She Waits!

She sat by the window..dusk in her hair..
A laugh in the silence that wasn’t quite there…
The teacup she held was chipped at the rim..
Much like her heart that was once full, now dim…
He came with the storm..eyes wild with fire…
Spoke sugar-laced lies, sang songs of desire…
He danced through her soul..leaving petals and pain…
And vanished like thunder..But left behind rain…
“He’s just lost”..she whispers..day after day..
“He’s coming back soon… he just lost his way.”…
The neighbours all mutter..they pity her gaze…
For she speaks to the shadows and counts down the days…
She stitched him a sweater he’ll never wear..
Placed roses for him on the empty chair…
Cooked two plates of dinner.. lit candles and sighed…
And laughed like a ghost that had already died…
He sleeps in the arms of another; they say..
While she hums him to sleep from a thousand miles away…
But mad though she seems..her faith never bends…
She still calls him her lover..her someday and her end…
So! she waits in the dark..where memories sing…
Hoping betrayal forgets how to sting…
And if you pass by..don’t ask her to see…
For hope is her cage..and she threw out the key…
