tonight you vanished in a darkening cloud
of despair, annoyed at the spirited crowd
you do not glance back but i know your face
is masking your sadness with stoic grace
i want to run after and hold you tight
toss all that's hurting you into the night
but i'm frozen in fear
that you don't want to hear
more of my drama
more of my tears
so i stare at the fire and follow a spark
watch it fly bravely into the dark
and i hope that it finds you
and brings you some light
expressing the words that i can't get right

These are beautiful words. Very gentle of heart. It is hard to find the right ones. That spark is the loveliest I've encountered.
Very well done 7.

Sincerely,
Regina
