xi. Sofia
Another morning without him
When will she get used to it?
Will she ever find another man
Who can love her like he did?
“You never loved me you say?”
Her lips curled into a smirk
A bitter tear found its way
Down her now pale cheek
“Tell that to the marines!
I am far from convinced.”
Her voice rang in her room
Did something she does
Only once in a blue moon–
Cursing the man she loves
“You confessed your love for me
In front of a great cheering crowd
Made me the happiest girl back then
But look at how wretched I am now.”
The sun hid behind the clouds
The clouds cried with her
Then, thunders roared outside
Her puppy, Daisy, ran to her
She welcomed her in her arms
The white Shih Tzu snuggled closer
Looked at her straight in the eye
Like saying, “You’ve got a friend.”
She smiled a bit
Then, remembered
“Baby, he gave me you
How could I forget?
“But…”
Something caught her eye
Again, making her cry
The red roses he last sent her
Are now withered in their vase
Their amazing scent of love
Like Albert, has gone away.
