I Watch Her Mourn... Poem by chantelle ribeiro

By day she is okay
By night nothing seems right
The melancholy sadness
with the icy breeze
squeezes her heart
tears her apart
And once again reality steps in
All that made her smile forgotten
Only the echoes of yesterday
reverberates through her being
A soft hand on her cheek
A warm embrace
Her mothers voice, her loving face
She has no more tears
yet her soul bleeds on
another heartbreaking moment
another sad song
I watch her mourn
I know that time will slowly creep on
And one day
When Winter turns to Spring
The light might return to her eyes
And new blossoms will bring
New hope
Or maybe a smile
And she will once again see
that life is worthwhile...
