A Dark Secret
Not a day passes when she isn't there
Oblivious to many who stand and stare
Sad tearful eyes heavily drooped
A lonely figure, slightly stooped
Is it the burden she does silently bear?
A dark secret that she cannot share?
Silvery streaks from eyes to cheeks
Tears not finding whatever it seeks
run down her pale beautiful face
as she leans forward in a daze
She touches the gravestone gently
laying a posy of roses so tenderly
A man stands in the shadows, unknown
He seems tormented, a look of grief worn
He stares, shakes his head, hesitant
To be with her, a step forward imminent?
Changes mind, pauses with a long sigh
Walks away slowly with head held high
