She weeps into her open hands
Which support gently her broken heart
A love, lamenting, worthy of tomorrow
Is but no more… her fading dream

She pains to whisper of that love
His name that she no longer calls upon
But, yet, the tears of today erode
The very memory of yesterday… and she sighs

Breath takes life within her lungs
As her eyes seek the light of day, upon drying
Her heart, once replete, is now deplete but filled
With hope of life, within a future of her dreams
