Hiding

She pulls the shawl off her shoulders and
places it on her head, it partially covers her face.

She closes her eyes and makes a silent prayer
hoping to just blend in and not be noticed.

She feels him near, and it sends cold shivers
up her spine, she stays still, eyes closed
and waits, it seems like forever, but she knows
he has left.

She knows she is safe for now,
he will not stop looking, until
she takes her last breath.

He wants to be the one who takes
it away.
How did their love go so wrong!
