She brushed her tears from her face,
fixed her hair,
and then put her lipstick on.
Went back out on stage,
began to sing.
Acting as if she was never crying,
hidding the fact that he was leaving her.
It wasn't till her last act that she let go,
she sang and tears began to well in her eyes.
When the crowd began to sing,
she then could feel her own pain vibrating off of them.
She stayed till the lights on the stage went out,
carried her shoes,
and grabbed the last of her bags.
The rain trickled down the car windows,
and the train pass by in the background.
Soon her taxi pulled up,
splashing her dress.
It was when she got in the taxi
she promised herself to take it one day at a time.
She got out,
dusted off her grief,
and went inside.
Closed her eyes;
prayed for a good nights rest.
