What She Left Behind

Your selfish words

Her piercing shout

You let it fall apart

She storms out of the room

While you sit back

Not expecting much

She emerges minutes later

Bags packed

Your eyes fill with dread

You shoot up on to your feet

You try to stop her

As she runs off

Her voice chocked with tears

When she says goodbye

You stand there stunned

Years of memory, laughter and love

Is erased

Now all what's left are her footprints

Soon to be wiped away by the snow
