He just stood there.

He just stood there.
He just stood there, watching her cry.

The ship under her feet began to sail.

This was the last time.
This was the last time she tried.
This was the last time she cried.

He just stood there.
No words in his mouth.
No beat in his heart.

This was the last time.
This was the last time she tried.
This was the last time she cried.

Something, something inside, had died, even though he never lied.

He just stood there, watching her cry.
As her eyes became dry, it was a goodbye.
