Tragic Chapters

For Steven Joseph Way Dreading chapters yesterday years inked about us, hour after minute, I delayed my inevitable look. I feared pain from words about married times of us. The pages lay dusty, fading undisturbed. My heart shakes a throb as I attempt each word. I strain my eyes to read chapters about our world. Imagery leaps with emotions my heart will keep including all hurt, ache-fraught inside of me. Time after time, I recall fondling that book. There were no pages with words explaining why, so acceptance of our ending was my only ally.
