Parting

A sweet sorrow

By Vicious AvaricePublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Parting is a sweet sorrow

That hopes more for tomorrow

Than it cares for yesterday,

But,

It fills me with questions

Whose answers would only rend

The things I did for you

When exhausted beyond reason

They way I put you first

Placing me last to do it

Did they register even once

When the dice came tumbling down

Was the love you felt for me

Only ever in my own eyes?

But the harshest truth I seek only in whispers

As it paralyzes me to touch

So simple, but so painful

How long did you laugh at my dreams

While seeking your own?
