of pain, betrayal and survival

he left her standing all alone
one winter night,cold and grey
the darkness was closing in
the cold wind made her shiver

he was gone too soon
before she knew
and she stood there
too numbed to move

her mind drifted away
to memories of a warmer day
she rummaged to find a reason how
feelings could change all in a moment

what was her crime
she asked herself
when all she did was
love her man

she was hurt
she was betrayed
and she needed an answer why
from the man she loved

but he was gone forever
never to return
and she never could find
the answer she deserved to hear

she drowned herself in the pain
coursing through her body
stinging her every cell
she let it hurt, she let it cut

she waited for the tears to flow
a trickle ran down her cheek
but it froze mid-way
and shone with a pearly lustre

one fine day, sunny and bright
her frozen tears melted
and they were the last she would ever shed
for the man she loved

a smile was back on her face now
happiness was hers again
and she knew she deserved better
than the man she used to love.

  1. Someone is happy it seems.
    At least pretending to be so.
    :P
    By the way, why does everything like this end with a hope, "she deserved better"?
    Its irritating at times.
    ;)

  2. and why shouldn't it end with hope??
    "hope" is the one thing that keeps us "alive"; makes us survive the worst of tragedies..

    and yes,everyone has the right to be happy...
    but the pretending part, i guess u will know better.. :P
