Candlelight Vigil

A single red rose in his hands

Charming

And there was an evening

The first date

A whisper under the blue sky

Cloying

And there was an evening and there was a morning

The most beautiful proposal

A cry in the darkness

Distress

And there was a very long rainy night

The first stage of battered women’s syndrome

Thereupon a loud argument

Unhappiness

And there was a sunless morning

The first tirade

Fifty red roses in his hands

Sweet

And there was an evening and there was a morning

Joy restored

An update from her iPhone

Tweet

And there was an evening and there was a bright morning

A new beginning

Another unsympathetic blame

“Whatever”

And there was a mournful morning

The first panic

A smile taken away

Forever

And there was a dark noisy night

The last dispute

Tears in the crowd

Painful

And there was a sad afternoon

The mourning hours

Lilies and carnations in her friends’ hands

Sorrowful

And there was a call to #BreakTheSilence

Sadly not the first candlelight vigil
