The rain was 

slowly pouring 

when I met him

We stood 

under the trees

His hair was wet 

His eyes were sparkling 

His lips were glossy

His face was smooth

He silently looked 

deep into my eyes

I knew he saw 

what was hidden

Love.

He sighed so deeply

and said “I love you”

My heart smiled

it knew it had found 

it’s home

but all in vain,

I looked him in the eyes 

and said “I don’t love you”

I felt warm tears running

down my cold cheeks

I looked at him

and walked away

With a heart 

scarred forever
