If you could be still, wait a moment more.
Just be with me. And wake up in my arms
one last time. In those doors, you disappear.
I wait for you in a fog.
It will be okay. You promise.
But I won’t cry.
My eyes wander down the road while the toes
point west. Hearing familiar songs of past lives.
Seeing other versions of ourselves.
Always thinking of you. Wondering how
we got here. The hall with too many lights.
Sighing passes as conversation.
As dawn grows near, and I quiet my
mind. The silence speaks our future, I
let go. Resolved this is the end.
What will we become? Strangers
in a solitary room with only a
broken mirror intact. I will not
give in to despair. Please let this
be repaired.
We came in together
And I leave alone
