She had her head down
Slowly shuffling along the sidewalk
She had no idea where she was going
Only that she had to get away
Away from the memories that haunt her
She briefly looked up at the street
You could see the doleful look in her eyes
She crossed the street in the same slow shuffle
And sat at the bench on the sidewalk
With a deep sigh she fought back tears
She was beyond consoling over his death
He had been her world for fifteen years
Now in a reckless moment he was gone
She felt she would forever mourn
She sat there for hours
Alone
Until the chill of the night made her shiver
Or was it him
Showing he would always be
With her
Written for Fandango’s One Word Challenge (FOWC) – doleful
Really wonderful how you’ve described her and her feelings.
Thanks Sadie!
Always a pleasure my friend
