Abandonment
Embraces shatter leaving timeless stories
Wrapped in butterfly nets, tied with velvet ribbons
Tangled cob webs and ghost blankets
Restless feelings and Kodak moments
Wasting into forever
Alone, rotting in the pantry
Forgotten happiness buried by sorrows
Telling tomorrow yesterday’s lies
A hollow soul searching for absent pieces
Going nowhere, tires spinning in mud
Falling from grace
Finding no one to catch you
Reaching out clutching entirely on air
Clouds of fog slide between fingertips
Walking through mist, traveling over quicksand
Trying to find light during a Midnight Sun
A solitary fragment in a sea of glass
Hearing the sound of silence for the first time
The empty feeling unarrival brings
Knowing abandonment.
