Shining like a pearl drop,
It trickled down her cheek
Glistening, it rolled of her chin
As the truth began to seep.

The millions of her beautiful dreams
which would open the world's door,
Now snapped like fragile pieces of glass
And shattered down to the floor.

The shiver she had felt when he looked at her
His presence which had filled her days with light
The ecstasy she had felt at his smile
Now left her side and gave way to night

Her heart screamed out in pain
As her eyes fixed on his image
The picture seemed to stab her soul
And her wound burned in rage.

Locked up in hurt and distress
She beat hard upon the floor
The pain let loose in a stream of tears
She thought she could dream no more

All the promises he had taken
Mocked at her pitiful state
She wished she could turn back time
But it was already too late
