Reflected Silhouette

A hand reaches out and brushes a tear away
Stiletto heels staccato on an empty rain washed street
Reflections distort in deeply dark wet shadows
A pause to glance behind, head turns, body stiffens
Nothing but pain and darkness
She turns, sighs, and steps out into the light
 
 
This was written in 2002 and I don't think this needs much explanation - although it's interesting that I didn't realise when I first wrote this how many common themes it had with reflections - so it had a name change from 'Silhouette' to 'Reflected Silhouette'.
