Afterward.

Another day,without tears.
Heart not clamped by fear.
Sweet love left such pain,
Bitter thoughts,mem'ries maim.

Decision made to abandon ship,
Save myself from losing grip.
Reasons varied,expressed few,
Rift created 'twixt me and you.


***
And you're fading away,
With each passing day.
My heart's healing itself,
Kept,now,on a shelf.
Too high for you to reach,
I don't reproach nor beseech.
How could you give me,
What you never had?
My doors open wide,
But,you ain't invited inside.
Leave now,while you're lost,
Perhaps,I'll miss you most.
