Feb 2015
She sat quietly in her hotel room
Waiting patiently for him again
Where was he this time?
Could this be the end?

Her long brown hair was perfectly groomed
Yet how was her heart filled with such gloom?

She waits and she waits for a knock n the door
Several hours go by
She falls asleep on the floor

Never a knock, he never showed
Three in the morning, she's lost her glow

She checks her phone
No calls or text
What is she supposed to do next?

She loves him so
How doesn't he know?

Her world is falling apart
No putting back the pieces of her broken heart

She drank the bottle of vintage wine
The ice in the bucket had melted
Her heat bled from inside

She walked to the balcony
How can this be?
A warm summer breeze hits her
How could he do this to me?

She looks down the fifteen flights
As she gulps the wine
Thinking to herself
This is the time

She finishes her last sip
She's feeling very numb
Can she do this
Yes, the time has come

She gets up on the railing
Looking at the pavement far below
Should she jump?
Will he ever know?

Just then came the knock
It was now four am
Could it be him?

She gets down from he rail
Runs to the door
It's the police
Someone called from next door

They said she was seen
Looked like she was about to jump
She felt her throat close, into a huge lump

No words came out
Only tears
The ambulance arrived
Just as she feared

No she's not crazy
He really exists
This wasn't the first time
They took her away to the abyss

The doctors were waiting
Nurses looking sad
Here she comes again
They knew what she had

Her husband died years ago
She couldn't seem to let it go
She waits for him in a psychotic state
Still thinking he's coming, her one and only soul mate

She doesn't understand
And she never will
Her heart is dead
As well as her brain
All she keeps thinking now is "am I insane?"
