semi-colon; where a sentence could have ended but did not, instead adding a rejoinder. the space between the dot and comma there hovers the fate of lovers, the whispers of hope for the hurting, and the continuance for those awaiting the now postponed end;
semi-colon; the tattoo of a writer who has something left to say, the brand of those whose adolescent tendencies pull them from delivering that much needed break, fracture, ending of the story.
the ghost of where you could, or perhaps should, have stopped.
