soul to squeeze.

beads of rain cascaded lightly down
the smooth surface of her face
maybe her eyes didn't shine with gladness
but with the pain that had been eating away at her
fragile heart all along
and who says anyone is immune to the pain
and twisting of emotions taking over
amber - colored tears mixing in
the hue over-powering the tranquility
a state of mind caused by a stranger
making only a cameo appearance in her life
who came in as quickly
as they left
and so the pain eases up
about ten years later
because of the memories etched in
as a design upon her heart.
