Black on Black

she will not look back as she's heading into the dark

By T. LichtPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

She’s heading into the night

Black on black

She doesn’t turn back

Not a wave

To say goodbye

A tear forms on my lip

I flee from the scene

She will not look back

as she heads down into the night

I don’t run after

I do not protest

The tears fall

I don’t wipe them

I quicken my pace

Away from the fact that

She’s heading into the night

Black on black

And she made herself deaf and mute

To block out her pain

There’s nothing for me to do

Besides beg to the creator of night

To watch that wandering soul

That’s heading into the night...
