Your Lips Gave Way

Your lips gave way
as mine did part
your eyes revealed
what mine could not
away from you
for many weeks
your thumb swept clean
my teary cheek
you waved goodbye
I grabbed the pier
and stiffled back
the damning tears
I watched you board
your journey start
I clutched my breast
my breaking heart
and wondered why
you looked so smart
when your lips gave way
as mine did part
