The Closing Of A Chapter

Starts in the chest, a dull ache

A heart that is running its own race,

As it sinks, of its very own accord

Toughen up, grieve at your pace.

***

Regrets, live with each and every one

Trying to learn the necessary lessons,

Not all is bad, there’s some good to see

Although I’m not proud of my confessions.

***

Missing, pining, a different outcome

Too late now, the race has been run,

It was short and sweet, devastating

There were parts that were even fun.

***

Dreams, wishes, hopes and desires

All experienced at one time or another,

The good is written in stone and mortar

Memories and feelings for the other.

***

Tales woven in magic and grace

A part of life to never be forgotten,

Carried buried deep in my heart

Little nuances tried and begotten.

***

One day we will remember fondly

Not yet, it’s way too soon and new,

Private thoughts tormented

Replacements, we’ve both a few.

***

I’d love to talk some more one day

Learn, educate, mischievous play,

I would listen to all you had to say

We’ll both survive and finish okay.

***

At night, I vividly view and remember

No escaping my real life dreams,

You never did feel as you promised

You quit regularly or so it seems.

***

Our time is lost, never to be again

I’m thankful you cut off all hope,

You severed it quickly, one swift cut

Giving me the tools needed to cope.

***

Remember one day, the possibility

The outcome and our potential,

Discarded as easily as the bath water

Pain immediate and consequential.
