When her last tears

Burned on my lips

She had to die

I still can see in her eyes

The fear she had to bear

Stepped out of my life

Never to see again

Repressed thoughts

will rise to the surface

Abandoned to cause pain

A lump in my throat

A last heart felt embrace

I felt her warmth

And the tears on her face

The smell of her perfume

lingered in my clothes

I look at the framed photo

of us both
