Sorrowful kisses placed on a tearful cheek
flushed with pain and sadness
Comforting arms embrace a quivering body
left shaking with fear and loneliness
Sympathetic words caress throbbing ears
as the cries of heartache echo within
Gentle hands wipe weeping eyes
that no longer behold the beauty of ones self-worth
A hopeful smile given to a once laughing face
which now only frowns with despair and confusion
Understanding silence given to impart empathy and love
as only a mother can do
to mend a daughter’s first heartbreak.
