She had her beige, raincoat on
With her brown hair like the isles of the palm trees
neatly bunched into a ponytail

Her heels were barely 3 inches
brown in color, maybe slightly red

Eyelashes that touched a soft rose
for the biggest lives are touched as they become
the falling grace of beauties harsh reminder

For the sacrifice of a newborn
comes at the sake of ones beloved face
The sacrifice to be something greater than yourself

The beige surrender of it all
the sweet turn of love that comes from a mirror
and downshifts to the cries of a newborn

The beauty of the nights prose
the way the dark can coexist with the wind
as it simultaneously renders the world around it silent

That sweet tan still lingered
the one she use to bask in
when she was just a young woman

A beige raincoat that seemingly never left her side
an eyelash still lingers from those days
tucked away in her bedroom drawer.
