…of a Lady

These empty arms

raised in surrender

by the bleak realization

of sadness

of departure

of a lady.

These feet

tried to stand defiant

of the mocking

of the words

of a lady.

These tears

struggled to erase

the hurt

of breaking

of my heart

of a lady.

This man…

This man aches

to forget

the pain

of a memory

of a love

of a lady.
