He tried to look away
But it was too late
She was gone
Walked away
Not even so much
As a goodbye
She left his life
He turned his back
Pretended it had
Never happened
Pretended she had
Never existed
He looked at the sky
Orange it seemed
As the sun sank
Behind the clouds
Beneath the earth
He didn't cry
He was indifferent
Crying showed vulnerability
Showed frailty
So he was a little angry
But still walked emotionless
On the beach
While the sun set
Beyond the ocean
