Finality

Finality

As the rain falls angrily
on this moonless night.
She sits numbed
beside the window
regretting their fight.
Careless words
meant to wound
had flown so easily
finding their mark.

She'd felt justified
in her pain
as her words
like acid rain
stung
tarnishing everything
that had once been
so shiny
beautiful.

No thought given
to how it would feel
to see such hurt
in his eyes
or how her heart
would ache
to see him cry.

The house
now so empty
so cold.
He's not coming back
She won this round
finally beating him.
Tears roll down her face
as she sits
waiting.
In her heart
she knows
she has lost him.

Rising
placing her hands
upon the window
peering
into the darkness
she softly whispers
"I'm sorry"
then turns slowly
and sadly walks away.
