The Dark That Lies Ahead

She had tears in her eyes.
They gently rolled down her cheek
as she breathed a stuttered sigh.
 
He knew that he was the cause of her pain.
Twisting the dagger
that was piercing their long held love.

And he tried to be everything she wanted,
without losing himself in the process.
 
They each wanted to be happy.
Wanted each other to be happy.
But both were scared of what lay before them.
