From Afar
I watched from afar
Drenched in the downpour
Of rain?
Or tears from Heaven?
I watched from afar
Knowing a part of me
Has vanished into
Nothingness forever
I watched from afar
My eyes were wet
But I swear
It’s only the rain
I watched from afar
Watched her laugh
Watched her smile
Knowing it was never for me
I watched from afar
Watched him hold her
Watched him swing her around
Knowing that would never be me
I watched from afar
But I made sure
I can at least sleep soundly at night now
Knowing she is happy
Knowing she is no longer in pain
And so
I dropped
My broken heart
And left
