I / Will

You were lost
when my eyes found yours
unfocused and without direction,
they now glare at this ending, this point,
reflecting broken images
in shards of shattered happiness,
scattering our days
into slivers of darkness,
confusing nights with shivering silence,
fragile resolve cracked.

The split,
separating I from will
dissolution mirrored as tears blink back,
damning the pain to rot in fallow soil,
where love failed to grow
and weeds now thrive,
sepulchral monuments rising
in vulgar witness to mark the fallen,
who lie among them in caustic decay
praying for deliverance from eroding pain.

Forsaking the memory,
a dark horizon looms
seeking to change my world,
reaching out, to pull me forward
with the promise of what is possible,
in every tomorrow.
