    Beautiful pools of
    White and black
    Watched hours after
    He had packed

    And left, gone
    Not going to return
    Been hurt too much
    Too much has been learnt

    “Why didn’t he stay?
    Should I have followed?
    Is it my fault that my heart
    Is black and hollowed?”

    Wild thoughts ran rampant
    Through her head
    “Why does it hurt?
    If my soul is dead?”

    She walked to where
    His shoes once stood
    His hat once hung
    When things were good

    She sadly took in
    All the mess
    He was gone
    Just loneliness

    Grey eyes surveyed the chaos
    Grey eyes wept crystal tears
    Grey eyes were full of longing
    Grey eyes were full of fear

    She watched his favorite programs
    She sang his favorite songs
    She cried the tears of sadness
    And tears of one who longs

    For yesterday
    Or yesteryear
    Or times when things were good
    For yesterday
    Or yesteryear
    When she was understood

    Her eyes took in
    What ears could not
    Her mouth opened
    A gun in the slot

    One finger on the trigger
    One hand above her heart
    “This heart has long stopped beating
    Since we have been apart”

    One eye on the picture
    They took the week before
    One tear for the picture
    Before he had closed the door

    One finger on the trigger
    One accidental push
    Her heart is slowly stopping
    Emotions in a rush

    Grey eyes surveyed the chaos
    Grey eyes wept crystal tears
    Grey eyes were full of longing
    Grey eyes were full of fear

    The door creaked slowly open
    A figure entered the room
    Grey eyes surveyed the chaos
    Grey eyes surveyed the doom

    He finally noticed the body
    Growing cold, lying on the floor
    His heartbeat accelerating
    Fast beating, with a roar

    He cried, clutching at her torso
    He sobbed, kissing her long-cold cheek
    He whispered, “I never meant it,
    It’s only been a week”

    “I was going to return
    Like I always have
    I just wanted you to learn
    But now the time has past”

    Grey eyes surveyed the chaos
    Grey eyes wept crystal tears
    Grey eyes were full of longing
    Grey eyes were full of fear

    One finger on the trigger
    One accidental push
    His heart is slowly stopping
    Emotions in a rush

    If you could have picked a better line than "her brain had turned to mush" it would be brilliant. That line sorta ruined it for me. Other than that I'm in love with this. Very deep, very tragic. Maybe fix the line...please?

    WOW :eek:

    Amazing work, just totally and utterly amazing. And i am also glad you changed the line 'her brain has turned to mush'.
    That was the only thing ruining it. Now it is the dictionary meaning of perfection. Great stuff. Keep it up. Have a lot to live up to now :lol:

    Thanks, all of you. I was mostly on a one-way track when I wrote that line, just wanted to get that part over with and continue the story.
