A walk after dark
Wandering through the city at night
Looking for shelter at nearby café
Tired, hungry and penniless
She kept on with blind aggressiveness
Faithfully hold on to a thought of belonging
She relied on the kindness of strangers
Ruthless, humorless empty faces
Grinning at her in the darkness of unfamiliar places
Walking to the one she once loved
The one who left, who’s miles away
Drying rose clutched in her hand
As a guiding light showed her the way
Salty tears drying by the cold wind of the North
She kept on pushing her numb feet forth
Alas! To no avail was their love
At last she found a welcoming sign of a bright lit street
