Her eyes water
her voice cracks
as she tells me
tells me her secret
a secret buried deep,
thought gone
dealt with
a pain reborn
her hand trembles
her hair down
covering her face
as she struggles
her voice whispering
I listen
eyes on her
my hand aching
to hold hers
my soul longing
to help her
our eyes meet
for an instant
the pain I see
inside her
as the memory
fills her
her heart aching
tears in her eyes
she fights them back
I see her
struggling, fighting
trying to let go
trying not to dream
wanting the pain gone
the wind whips
around us
as we walk
silent
I struggle for words
but none come
what does one say
She struggles
I see it
I can't help her
Her eyes
filled with pain
with memories
she leaves
going inside
I watch her go
wondering
