this
is where it ends
no
fireworks
no
thunder
just
a silence
growing
between us like a cancer
a
frozen chasm
not
hatred but indifference
cold
and clear eyed
wrapping
itself around my heart
icy
fingered along my skin
everything
ends
in
the cold silence
the
darkness
last
rites
mourning
moving
on
everything
ends
in
silence.
