wished her well
when he had to go
his heart aching
hers was breaking
they'd gone as far as they could
the sky was blue, the day was black
rosy tinted when they look back
the final photo
when the camera clicked
captured an affair
both deep and intense
fading smiles, vacant eyes
a black and white
held in their minds
framing a shot
of love that's blind
he held her hand
and stole her heart
wished her well
when he had to go
his heart aching
hers was breaking
they'd gone as far as they could

Emily Dickinson once wrote, "The higher the flame has leaped, the colder and deader the ashes. Very nice writing!
