In the stupor of yesterday
she sighed with only a move
drifting in the memory of a kiss
given from different lips.
Recapturing the sway of body
light moved in and smiled on
the words whispered to a star
before a feather fell beside a
pillow stained with tears.
Turn away from the painful expression of truth,
hands slipped apart with a good-bye touch
while skin smoothed away in the distance
as only actors do.
The world stood still as she dreamed
of arms that held a tender moment
standing in the rain as smiles bloomed
she touched and it fell to pieces.
Eyes stay shut as reality intrudes
pretending like she's now used to
another day to be another girl...
