a ray of sunlight

The sun shone through the
hole in the curtain; making a circle
on the floor.
She lay strewn across the floor, tattered
Rags for clothes and tears streaming
Down her face.

She repeated one word over and over again: 'Why?'
She knew she had to face this on her own,
he was gone
and she couldnt tell him how she missed him or
how much she cared,
she was left alone in her world,
and nothing could change that.

As she wept in the corner, hiding from the empty room,
she felt a hand on her shoulder,
that oh so familiar husky voice said
'I'm back. I could never live without you by my side.'
