Three Cinquains

You Glow

You glow

with love for me.

Accepting all I give,

never questioning if I love.

I don’t.

Tears Fall

Tears fall

like rivers of

pain. Rejection will hurt.

Just touch him and say goodbye to

your heart.

Streetlight 

It glows.

The safe ribbon

of light, meandering

on toward home. But my path was

unlit.
