Distancing.
Time-given hope sickens yet
clings to torn veils.
Train whistles awayness
with distancing rails.
Faith blurs in acceptance
of tear-saddened eyes.
Would forgiveness relieve
deceitful goodbyes ?
Cold comfort-thoughts clutch
love\'s fast sinking pyre.
Heart wavers as anger climbs
each day higher.
Come lately she asks why with
betrayal found
Spent echoes of romance still
sigh extra loud.
