she watched as he strolled away from her,
not even turning to bid her with a last goodbye.

he forced his shoulders back to where they were,
acting as if nothing was wrong and hoping he could fly.

her heart wrenched in all its former beauty
her lungs refused to take in the air she breathed.

his heart felt none of its former glory
and in its place, stabs of pain and his own wrath.

she knelt in the gravel, her hands cradling her head
her body trembled with the passing time.

he hid from the streetlight and wished he could take back what was said
all he come up with were actions just as were a mime.

her dear dreams shattered and broken
and she wondered if they would ever mend.

his future crashed and burned
and he knew it would never be the same without her

if only time could go back
if only...
