Nothing Left To Say

each sunrise holds promise

quiet rapture before he spoke

not thinking, the words spill out

too late to reconsider

the mess you have made

no mopping it up now



she listens,

not hearing the anger

but the very frustrations

that brought them here

sitting on this porch

together



but each is alone

although they sit side by side

not touching, not feeling

no reply from her

unusual at best

but there's nothing left to say
