Sorrow consumes the moment
Daytime’s fading light falls like a curtain
As a broken heart withdraws into loneliness
Tear stained the letter sits
Silent tears turn to sobs
Dripping from eyes cupped by trembling hands
Her words a relentless reprise
Of loving goodbyes
“A love unreturned cannot survive
Nor obligation hostage the heart
To continue on would be a lie
Your final act of love I pray
To let me go let me depart
Goodbye”
Darkness fills the empty room
A spirit numb to love’s embrace
Life no longer worth the chase
The hammer falls
The silence broken
Blood joining tears
No words are spoken
