She wanted to be free
but she left without a word
How could she?
Now flying free as a bird

I must have mistaken
her beautiful face
for an everlasting one

Her smile lines still burned into my thoughts
Her kind eyes still trace the lines of my face
Her warm heart kindles mine

I think of a time
I lay on her shoulder,
her bones hurt my face
but I dont move
I just want to be close to her

Her presence is unmistakable
Tall, wafish figure
Pearl white teeth, straight and perfect
Oh, how I miss that smile
Everyone stops to stare
Her head is high, her chin is raised
She is a walking statue of liberty

But she was weak
Her beautiful smile now just a photograph
Her warm heart just a memory
And I am broken
