Disappointments


Jet-black, velvety ink drips across the page; handwriting small, drops large;
Spreading, contaminating.
The shadow of my pen casts a menacing shadow against the page.
Dark against light.
The virgin sheet, awaiting, a-hoping, for that one black, opaque dot to come to corrupt it.
Corruption.
What a beautiful word, what an ugly action.
The naïve, sanguine girl waits and wishes for her one true prince.
But he shall never come.
A seventeen-year old boy in a motorcycle jacket is what she gets instead.
Nothing special.
Just another one of those hit and run cases.
Nights following the failed attempt at love are filled with
Pain and rain,
Beat, beat, beating against an off-white windowpane,
Not unlike her heart that one frightening, pitch-black night.
