Her eyes downcast betrayed her, and, in that moment,
He sensed an ocean between them,
Once so sweet her smile that oft would light his world,
Now empty, cold and faithless.

Her manner though polite, all warmth dissolved,
He felt a desert between them,
Her empty words that once filled him with such joy,
Now she brushed a tear to affirm it.

His heart broken, and her promises lay waste,
As she turned to leave, he could now but know,
His imagination had not set out to trick him,
Clear as day turns into night, he had lost her.

His belief of such great love lay broken,
And just as a window that shatters,
His dreams lay like shards upon the ground.
