In the stillness of the night
There is no sound to be heard,
There is no light to be seen,
There is no love to be lost.

She closes her eyes for the last time, waiting.
Waiting for the soothing pitch in his voice to ring in her ears.
Waiting for that flicker of happiness to return to her eyes.
Waiting for his unconditional love for her to return.

Her subconscious drifts away, pondering.
Pondering on the missing words that has been so easily forgotten.
Pondering over the deception of adultery that has been caught in the act.
Pondering whether the love he had for her was authentic and pure.

In the stillness of the night,
The words have turned into a faded memory.
The tears dried and evaporated in the summer breeze.
The love floated away along with the rest of her soul to the heavens above.
