a shadow crosses her face,
as she sees,
truly, eyes opened
for the first time, perhaps
what she used to have.
it's easier
now that she's here
to see what she couldn't before.
and this makes her wonder
why she thought she cared.
the reflections
speak more than her words can say
and she turns away,
satisfied at his expense
SMILING,
because she is finally free.
