I have a thing with partings:
Finding therein a something akin
To a death desperately present;
Like an earthquake easily burying
The life I had before, a life
Lost and never returning;
Memories fading
As the self slowly shatters,
Memories within
Unshared and unequivocally
Pointing towards an end;
As the thread of hope
Weaved from the strings
Of dreams, from the last
Rays of sunshine mirrored
In the eyes of the child
Left behind.
I have a thing with partings,
Being left behind,
The others going on
As the self withers -/:
