She Rocks With Empty Arms
Permalink   
 


She sits,
rocking herself.
Clutching her arms
to her chest.
She hums an off-key melody.
Hauntingly familiar,
comforting in its rythum.
Yet in each note you can hear
the wistful sighing of her heart.
She rocks with empty arms.
Once in awhile an ember burns within her eyes,
as she sees someone,
you watch it die
as she realizes it isn't him.
It never is,
And never will be him again.
For she rocks with empty arms.
She keeps a book
of fading photograghs,
if you look
through it quick,
you can see him grow.
The last picture
a smiling young man,
sitting by a cake
with twenty candles burning.
You know
there isn't more,
because
she rocks with empty arms.
