Passing
An Acrostic Poem
Every passing moment grew darker until
Clouded, obscured, your life force receded
Love never felt so without purpose, unneeded
In that moment the darkness was everything
Passing thoughts across your face
Said it all
Enough.

To Speak of Secret Futures
Our coffees cool between us on the breakfast counter. You stare at the curls of steam so you don't have to look at me. That's always been your tell. Usually your gaze speaks volumes, so when you refuse to meet my eye, that means you have a secret you don't want to say.
