Distancing

 

 

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.
