Faltering
Where to go from here?
The thought occurred when I wasn’t quite awake enough to dismiss it.
I could turn and run forever, but never get anywhere.

Late night phone calls.
Vacillate.
My eyes burning, stomach turning
Sick.
Anticipate the answer,
only to be betrayed.
Rejection.

Friends fall to ashes when the four letter word
Percolates through the ties that bind.
Unwieldy feelings that never fade away
All trust lost.
Nothing left to say.

Sleepless nights left
To cope with memories
we don’t want to surrender.
Regretting all that was forgotten.
Everything Ending abruptly.

Why
Are hearts simple to fill, easier to crush?
