Our Closing Chapter.
_..._ _ __. ..._ . _ _ .
Thoughts dash and dot
the pages of my mind
like remorse code
when I think of you.
What impulses
caused you to leave,
slowing my pulses
to a dull roar.
Love is not a
foreign exchange program
here for a short
while to learn
all of the glories
and then a return
to from whence you came.
It is meant to be
lasting, everlasting.
Not lashing, ever lashing.
I lie beaten beneath
your cold attitude
exposed to the bitter truth
that lies under
your frozen smile.
The glue of our
ig is removed,
as storms of
doubt assail me.
My skin hurts
in your absence,
it is a vast empty
Arctic plain.
I miss your lashes
when they were
half closed in bliss.
My last moment spent
with your lashes
involved tears
suspended on
their curled loveliness,
as you back
pedaled away
from the perfect match
fearing you might
get burned.
Now I am
the perfect ash,
blown away by the
cruel winds
of loneliness,
with all of the particles
of what I held dear
scattered over
the soiled earth,
where I once walked in
splendor by your side.
