Cold Certainty


Cold certainty
something has broken
your eyes
look past me
your words fall on me
drumming like a pulse
against my spine
I know you were out
I sense what has kept you from me
you falter, into silence
not willing to tell me a lie.
Forward I must move
into your arms, into my space
but the safety is erased
by the unfamiliar scent of a woman
and the echo of our
shattered love rings out into the night.
