The end-- Such finality In passing, a lingered sound Of a bell that has long since tolled-- Whispering hearts that once were screams, Interwoven passion and anger. Jade jewelry falls to floor, a shadowy Wind-chime realization Of a heart, in denial. It's gone-- A notion to easy to recognize And yet so difficult to believe. When did it all become One word too many, One kiss too few, One touch too absent? It's plain to see, but I Just didn't feel it, or I Didn't want to feel it. I admit it, yes-- I was never to sure of myself, But I was always sure of you. It's no matter now, Because this is the moment Just after the end, And it looks like I'll Have to begin again, far away From this ache of fallen ash-- But no, I won't forget Your face, and the way We used to just be, together. Sometimes the good just disappears, Leaving a residue to be remembered, Composed of all the things Hid behind tired eyes; Goodbye--because I can't say it, Though I feel it more Than you may ever know. |
