A brisk fall day in New York.
The woman clad in blue heels
walks down this empty street.
Crisp air whips her solemn face.
Thoughts race through her mind
as the rain lands softly beside her.
Brightly colored leaves fall
creating an endless pathway.
Further and further into isolation.
Her blush colored umbrella keeps her safe
from the outside world.
She walks uninterrupted.
What did she do wrong?
Leaves crunch and break beneath her feet.
The sound distracting her from past mistakes.
Somber, she keeps on walking.
The smells of the city at night,
smoke and street food mixed with rain,
penetrate her dark thoughts.
She does not stop walking.
Grey skies gloom overhead.
Flickering street lights illuminate the dark path.
The tall trees taunt her with every step.
She tries to escape her past.
Tears stream down her face
Mixing with the cold rain.
She doesn't cease to stop.
What did she do wrong?
She walks on forever.
What did she do wrong?
