the long goodbye

[nevadasky]

silence so loud, ears
covered muzzling screams
of what stopped

in places so long ago
finding loss in the crying
din

bones rubbed the wrong
way for so long
the cushion of forgiveness

and empathy worn away
forgetting where it
used to
belong

speak long distance, even
up close
feign a smile

reverberate pretense marking
its over-glossed
cadence

words of love lay quiet now
dusty
and ink-less pens no longer
write of requited
love

waning strength begs finale
faded glory days
whisper what is too late
to catch

while last nights vespers
answers to moving
on

nevadasky (c)

[Seth]

and empathy worn away
forgetting where it
used to
belong


reverberate pretense marking
its over-glossed
cadence

Love the format and story here.
Beautifully written,
very much enjoyed reading this.
