Walk Away

As anger hurls departing words, deceitful tactics are employed. And two hearts are split asunder, causing pain; they tried to avoid. As dreams began to drift apart, arguments held feelings at bay. And letting doubt push love aside, they somehow choose to walk away. Anxieties began to climb while summoning tears to their pain. And yet, even though steeped in hurt, bittersweet memories remain. Loneliness longs for feelings felt in the closeness of an embrace. Yet hope cannot revive passion, though it keeps trying, just in case. (Quatrain) 4/18/2015

The last line of the opening stanza seems to stick a little, I'm afraid. Nice take, though, on an unfortunate event.

Dear Emile, My heart goes out to anyone who has lost a loved one. Anger is not productive and it takes a long time to recover. I've found the loneliness becomes more bearable over time. Thank you for your kind comment. Catie has said such nice things about you. I feel as though I already know you. Sending hugs, Carolyn
