She sits and stares out the window
As the rain falls like tears down the glass
How much she wanted him to love her
How much she wanted this love to last

But now as she turns, there's just emptiness
No more will he be standing there
Once more she is left all alone
In this place where much love was once shared

The fire is crackling behind her
The sheepskin rug was where they once laid
Two bodies entwined in such passion
A place where so much love was made

But now the embers just smoulder
This log cabin has now lost its glow
As she opens the door, a cold wind envelops her
She stares disbelievingly out in the snow

How on earth could he just up and leave her
Oh, how her aching heart does now pine
She knows that it will be such a long time
Before her heart is able to shine

She'll now spend some days in this cabin
All alone so she can collect all her thoughts
The perfect place for her to be by herself
While she's feeling so much out of sorts

At night she will set the table
For a romantic dinner she'll make for two
As she glances longingly out the window
Just hoping he will come into view

Sad write filled with an ache that emits from within.  Well done.

I just loved the haunting longing that stood out in this.

'As she glances longingly out the window
Just hoping he will come into view'


He does show up - doesn't he ?

Sure he does ... she believes he will - so he will !

(I like happy endings - so in case he doesn't, don't tell me.)  

Very nicely done.
