Tear stained

When you took a fleeting glance
of everything you\'re leaving behind
Our eyes locked
When yours met with mine

Your dark eyes appraised me
Brooding,yet filled with sacrifice
Unmistakeable hurt brimming
In those teary eyes

Releasing your clenched fists
Turning your back against me
With a final twist
You set yourself free

The inviting placemat near the sink
The hideous emptiness
Revealed a perfect coffee ring
-stained with tears
