~*~*~*~
He stood outside the door with a faraway look on his face
Day after day I saw him there, punctual like clockwork
His face was expressionless but the demeanor was indicative
Of a heartbroken lover, seeking to win back his true love
I wished him luck silently in my heart
It is difficult to heal a broken heart!

Pride and compassion
He did a good thing
Although it was difficult
His actions were selfless
But necessary
She will be stronger because of it
Despite the hurt consuming his heart

Wonderful take, Sadje. Very interesting responses too. I am sorry I could not participate the past week, maybe your prompt this week will gel with OctPoWriMo challenge.
