Bluelighter
dying beauty
playing the waiting game.
alone and silent
singing to a song in her brain.
holding a mirror
only in hope to see,
her young, youth filled reflection.
staring back
for all to see.
shattered by the harsh reality,
she takes a knife and cuts.
carving a date and a heart into the desk,
remember things that were
and things that were lost.
the boy that married her
the boy who broke her heart.
the one who stole her very first kiss.
the one who told her
never to dream of being apart.
her very first driving lesson
the one dancing in the snow.
the way she danced and swirled her hair.
the way they moved together in pattern.
touching everything
kissing from head to toe.
reflections in her mirror
shall remain only that.
rejected once again by the face that she only loves
her own
as she begins to turn and wave.
goodbye.
