Laura Breidenthal Poet Free verse

Into the Night

I wish our story never 
faded away like a dream 
and lost its meaning in reality.

If there was love there,
it was ghost-like and soundless,
and lost maybe in my hope 
somewhere—bouncing—
off of the walls we have 
built to protect ourselves.

Into the night that hope
went—seen no longer—
expected no longer—as the 
dawn loyally lofts.

Duke Beaufort January 22, 2023 at 4:44 PM I am thinking that much of our affection towards others has an animalistic chemistry component. A friend from way back always told me that there's no accounting for who will like us with a lot of fondness. Most of the time, it doesn't work out that well. Only rarely.
