A cold November night
The air is frigid
And frosty is chilling her toes to the bone
The wind slides past her face
Numbing her ears and nose
She sits on the table
Waiting for their return
The seconds turn to minutes
And the minutes feel like hours
With misery storming through her mind
The flashbacks start
Her heart goes numb
And she is deprived of all hope
The dream of what they could have been
She drags herself home
With only the dim light
From the flickering street lights
She looks up to the stars
Hoping to find some sort of relief
A shooting star, something
But as her eyes gaze up higher and higher
The only thing she sees is clouds
She thinks to herself
"don’t cry now, wait, wait till you get inside"
Step by step she inches closer to warmth
This is the longest walk she has ever taken
Although in reality
She was only a block away
Only a few more steps
Until she can be safe at last
She stumbles onto the door step
Takes a deep breath
And reaches for the door
Her finger tips touch the cold metal door knob
She takes a step inside and collapses on the ground
Curled up into a ball of comfort
She feels safe physically
But mentally, she's a mess
Tears cascade down her face
How could she fall for him?!
She is disgusted with herself
The pain pierces a hole through her chest
And her heart shatters
They say follow your heart
But when it is in so many pieces
Which way are you to go?
