Blackness permeated her darkened soul
The only remnant of a lover’s void
Eyes that did sparkle dulled by pain
Visions of happiness crushed asunder
A charming smile once carefree and trusting
Wounded severely by careless misgivings
Hope overcome by truth a partner to sorrow
Memories of better times bereft of emotion
A frail tear appears and fades
Another broken heart requires mending
