After the storm

She left the football game early

And held back her dripping mascara.

After the storm

She stepped into the car

And took off her white jacket.

After the storm

She went to her closet

And cried for an end to the pain.

After the storm

She shuffled their playlist

And vowed never to listen again.

After the storm

She ignored all his texts

And her friends would pick up to her crying.

After the storm

She hid from the world

And tore down the walls she called love.

After the storm

She left her closet

And

Slowly

Forgot

His

Name.
