'scattered'

scattered pieces all over
his words a silent echo 
she never grasped their meaning
the love they shared died


~Dedicated to Mr. Francis, I hope the good memories 
overshadow the few bad ones ~

Communication failure can be attributed to the high divorce rate, Wilma. When people stop understanding each other's words, it's hard to keep love alive. Brilliant dodoitsu! Love, Carolyn
