She Waits for Him

by Sabrina

She waits for him, like a dog waits for a master. 
She sits alone in her dark and empty room,
waiting to hear the thud of his footsteps. 
But she hears nothing. 
She wonders what she did wrong,
what she did to make him leave her. 
The room is dark, but the tears refuse to sleep. 
Only when he holds her do the nightmares cease,
and the beautiful dreams start. 
The dreams of her life with him. 
The most precious thing in her whole world
Has walked away from her. 
He tells her to move on, forget him. 
But still she waits in this room,
hoping, praying he comes back to her. 
But he stays away; he has left her. 
She can bear the silence no more,
because she is scared of the world beyond. 
A world without him doesn’t seem
like a world she could ever live in. 
But the blade against her skin is heavy. 
The blood spills and the room seems to grow brighter. 
The world after holds no pain, no sorrow. 
But without her in the world he cries a sad and lonely cry. 
He places a flower on the final resting place of his true love. 
He will not leave her this time. 
He sits by her headstone
and waits for the day he can meet her again. 
He doesn’t wait long. 
And they are reunited in the heavenly glow, together forever.
