the words
came seldom,
as of late,
and we seemed to drift
apart.
seeing each other
became a chore
and all we did
was bicker
about things
that didn't amount
to
a hill of legumes.
the sparkle faded...
you said
the world
had made you tired
and rest was the key.
i decided
it was all an elaborate
scam
to pull out
those emotions
locked deep beneath
the caverns
of caring
in my heart.
that powerful smile
turned silent...
you talked
children,
past loves,
making amends
for the wrongs
doled out.
you saw her...
a vision of the one
who sacrificed
so that life
would be complete.
it was time
to fly.
so as the soil
fell from my hand
and words
were suddenly found,
it was to late.
now
the arguments,
disagreements
and
lazy words
stare at me
like hanging darts.
because
my stubborn mind
refuses to accept
i'm alone.
