she sat by the stairs
while the cars passed before her
tender hands resting upon her lap
head drooped
lost in a haze of thought
her eyes with a sheet of tears
I had seen them before
in myself
in the mirror
when she left
as I approached
she tilted her head
and stared at my shoes
she lifted her chin
just like when we had met
in the eternity that our eyes locked
I gave her my hand
and I saw her muscles tense
her image frown
and she forced out a fading smile
she hung her head again
I sat by the stairs
head drooped hands on my lap
lost without words
while the cars passed before us
