We Cried

Her face was turned
Away from mine when
She cried.

I don’t believe her heart
Agreed with what
Her mouth was saying

Hands shaking
Eyes moistening
She brought us
To our end.

Her heart was turning
Away from mine
When she held me
And we cried.

Heartbreaking poetry. Your choice of words worked very well and I could feel the pain of the one turning her head away. Sometimes when we realized what we have isn't working, or we find the ONE true love, we hate to have to hurt the one left behind.

Sadly that's how it goes and you captured it exceptionally well with those body positions related to the heart.

nicely done...
I agree with the others, it is a good use of body language and you've captured well something most all of us have experienced in some way
