Lovers eyes, staring at one another through the darkness
Seperated by distance
And the black cloak of night
But together nontheless

Poetic words, springing from their hearts
To tell of their love for one another
Feeble words, backed by no proof
Except their actions.

But one day, one of them slips up
Sacrificing her love for the sake of another
And fooling herself
In the process, she loses her love
Her one, true love
Her soulmate.
And that is an act that she can never
Forgive herself for.

"You will love again"
They tell her
"And be happy"
But she knows the grim truth
Her love will not die
Nor will she love another
So she will go through life
Alone.

Poetic words still spring from her heart
To tell of her love for him
But her words echo around the emptiness of her soul
There is no one to hear them.

Why?
