As I sit here on the sofa inside
my living room, I’m forced to
replay that tragic day when you
walked out of my life, fallen eyes
in twilight skies, shattered songs
and slow dances, sleepless time
and breathless beauty, as I stared
at your dark stained shadow
stepping inside your vehicle,
my heart breaking apart with every
beat, broken barriers beneath the body
and thought, closed chambers sinking
in loneliness and despair.  And as I
watched you drive off into the distance,
crazed fumes sifting from your engine
into the smoky air, stretched out trees
twirling their leaves in deep confusion,
scarlet clouds gazing at my somber
existence, I fell to the ground and
screamed out in pain.
