Four walls and a roof
time measured in tears
a home or a box?
a love in arrears
words without action
a longing, untold
promises broken
as memories unfold
no balance in check
my voice, secondary
the desired outcome:
imaginary
just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
love let itself quietly
out the back door.
can't live on assumption
no gestures on display
I could drown in indifference
or I could walk away.

ReplyDeleteThank you, C. It was actually difficult to write, from an emotional standpoint. Made me kind of melancholy.

Just walk away...easier said than done. Its ramifications lasts for years. I know. Been there. Trying to leave it fully behind. <3 Leta
