The Wind

He left her then

in the most final of ways.

With her still holding tight,

he slipped away.

All  unsaid words and

unfinished conversations;

all the plans in the making,

left on the wind that carried him.

She turned her face and let

that wind dry her tears,

knowing her memories

were locked away safe,

knowing they couldn't be carried away

by the wind that came for him.
