You left me that morning without a goodbye.
without a hug,
without a smile
or a kiss.
I didn’t hear your- I love you bye.
our standard farewell…
for now,
or a not forever…ending
Endings finish with periods
Periods – leave their marks.
Indelible
some make wounds
some
marks of anger
and marks of hurt
marks of endings
of loneliness…
fearful marks.
I’m sorry
And I love you
Speak so much louder than
being right and slamming the door.
Without a last goodbye
What can one hold until tears dry?
