His words wound around her fragile heart
like a vengeful venomous snake
to strike again with malice
she stood stupefied and motionless
trails of tears slithered down
the hill of her bony check
with careful intent he folded his clothes
she watched him pack his bags
swing it over his shoulders
in utmost grace he walked to the door
she held him back by his bag
and broke down crying
a broken heart to nurse, wet eyes to dry
why do they always leave her
making promises at first
she will stumble through life for answers
nobody can answer her questions
she will go back to being her
