Scarborough Gypsy - Broken

My heart sank
As I watched her go
That familiar pain returned in an instant
And I felt hollow inside
I tried hard to smile
As I waved her off
But my face gave in and crumpled
Eyes welled up with tears
Be brave, be brave
Just until she’s out of sight
Don’t let her see your smile lies
Broken on the welcome mat.
