Sad Farewell Seated

............. 
                                                                   ....     ........
                                                                hushed whispers...
                                                                  slammed on the .........
                                                            window pane, shadow
                                                 forged with swaying impulses
                                             echoes of this morning.  Previous night   
                                         Under a single old solitary demesne..I...
                                       shouted the summer tune                     ../
                                     drizzle, sealed within my soul 
                                  Indelibly, Endless no longer exists
                                 shed among the jumble of bytes
                               our sprawled glimpses         Beyond the  
                            long-standing weave. You felt             without
                          a goodbye... and I stood there...            serene   
                        of suffocating embers,    its hefty kernels
                      strewn throughout the hues of life.     The stars
                   * no longer      share my space,   amidst hollowness 
               *     behind every shooting star's trail
             *    Every morning I get up in dread. 
              /----------------------- \             of missing to
            /                                   \          **hear    
           /                                      \      YOUR  
          /                                         \          last words
         /                                            \      YOUR
        /                                               \         probable parting
       /                                                  \
