Etching Goodbye In the Mist

Forgotten flesh behind cold walls,

pressing nose to steamed glass--


With weightless memories,
your ache hides within a dream
like whispers on a scream.


--playing moon games.

a black widow wraps
flies around sound.

The empty silence roared like fire,
standing in the shadows of surrender...

she etched goodbye in the mist.

This is beautiful with its descriptions, I love unique presentation of a scene and this was gorgeous wordplay.
