Letting Go

Helpless…..

…….Lost

 

watching the curtain slowly fall

the stage is now empty.

The actors left, the scene is unnerving.

Nothing is heard but the sound of a single heartbeat

Racing and thumping fast

A silent cry within her chest

And a nightmare that has begun to manifest.

 

All the colors were once so vivid

The nights were so clear

Together they danced on that stage

And pulled eachother near

 

An embrace that lasts an eternity

Or so she can only hope

Perhaps the play will have an encore

Or perhaps, karma will even the score.

 

She hugs herself tightly

As a tear falls down her cheek

Closing her eyes she whispers softly

Words she can not repeat…

 

Go to her and take what is needed

Allow her to give you what I can not

Know I will forever be with you

And loving you, always true.

 

Dropping her head in her hands she weeps softly

Confusion and sadness seems overwhelming

Silently praying for death to take her

Into that other world…..

………where she knows…….

 

He will rejoin her and eliminate her woes.
