I Wonder…is This Goodbye?

I Wonder…is This Goodbye?

I wonder…is this goodbye?

…a severed silence

no smiling whispers…

…no teasing proclamations

of love…

…no sorry

I can’t do this any more…

a silence more profound

than midnight  meetings

…as wounding as confessions

of another love…

I wonder…is this goodbye

a silence and the echo

of my own  hearts sigh…

..the chapter finished

with a muffled turning of the page

…no wise platitudes

borrowed from the mind of a sage

Confucius say – pain will fade

with age…

is this goodbye

I hear in words unspoken

confusion wrestles

with conflicts of emotion…

my heart remembers secrets

whispered  to my soul

was every whisper an untruth told…

…behind my eyes loneliness takes hold…
