Woman Portrait

When I was first told about the man

She said she'd fallen in love with him

She found true love, the kind that made

Your heart skip a beat, when you stay too long away from them

The woman was said to be beautiful

Her tawny-black hair around her ears like tendrils


She was gone now, not dead yet

The woman had just left

Her disappearance stayed on the minds for years

Until her memory fades, over decades like old rotten pears

Sorbet, green, brown then black


She never came back
