Salty, heavy tears fell from her lashes,
Her heart was breaking,
But I couldn't do a thing
I just stood,
Staring and wishing I could stretch out my hand and just wipe the tears away
But inside I felt like Grace looked,
But no one would know,
This shall be kept to my chest
I shall be strong, for the team,
Though honestly, there is no team,
The team has fallen, as Mel did.
Grace looked up,
Her eyes red from weeping,
Her face crying out for comfort,
For a hand on her shoulder and a reassuring word,
But I can't, I want to,
I want to hold her, to help her, to keep her to my chest,
Her face fell,
She knew,
I couldn't hold her, I couldn't help her, I couldn't even look at her.
I walked away,
My footsteps bounced on the cobbles,
and I left without looking back.
