A Love Affair
August 15, 2020
A shadow follows closely
Giggling, running up the stairs
Be quiet, she whispered
Her voice escaping the shrill creaking noise
One summer night
A boy dressed pleasantly
Welcomed through the front door
Meet John, she revealed
A portrait of him hanging
One thanksgiving dinner
A shatter, then a squall
Echoing back to her room
He left, she confessed
Her hands holding on to the remnants of his love
One teary afternoon
