Red Eyed Good-Byes - Poem

She's like a rainbow after a brief rain.
Fleeting with each glance.
My lips already miss saying her name.
Her perfume is growing faint,
and the warmth of her touch is giving way to cold.
My arms lack purpose,
without her to hold.
The sounds of our laughter echo into silence,
The sounds of my loneliness grow louder.
She's leaving.
My mind begins to scramble for answers,
as the questions of what to say,
how to act,
and how to look begin to overwhelm the moment.
I'm holding back tears,
they've been waiting to give away that I'm in love with her.
My words make no sense,
my voice has no strength.
I'm in love and that love is leaving.
I'm saying Good-Bye,
with red eyes that only her staying can dry...
