2013 NaPoWriMo Day 14

A Walk

Sunlight shines through wet leaves,
dappled shadows on the ground;
rain puddles gleaming,
dragonflies skimming along the water.

Fallen leaves muffle the sound
of my heavy footsteps,
I watched you dance under the trees,
arms spread and spinning –

carefree and happy –
laughing as squirrels played around your feet.
You flopped on your back,
eyes watching a soft blue sky.

You sighed, whispering my worst nightmare.
You whispered
that you love, not me,
but someone else.
