My dearest Silvia

Silvia,
I am writing this in the hopes that there is a kind of closure for us.
A mending of the holes we bore in our souls.
Silence has defined us for far to long.  
Silent are the whispers that strung us along.
Feeling misplaced.
Disappointment has found us.
I can only support your decision.
No participation. I can not help you
by breaking our hearts.
My best intentions are to far apart. 
You were my shelter, the
Rock that I built my life upon. 
Our love the storm. I must leave
my heart behind for it knows 
no other life. I lack the sustenance
that brought it to life. lustful places 
is now where I reside. I'd rather not mention.
I need you to remember the rhythm to the rhyme 
we once shared
so I can go free.

Ink Empress June 4, 2025 at 5:56 AM Such a heartfelt poetic letter so sincerely woven and flowing with deepest emotions and thoughts. Silence, and not finding closure can be painful sometimes and it would be a poetic relief to be able to express freely to finally find that closure. I especially felt the lines “ our love the storm. I must leave my heart behind for it knows no other life.” That is soul hitting! Pleasure reading your poem. Sending you light always
