Forever After
It has come to this
final conclusion -
fatal delusion.
The hours approach
not silently creeping
but upright and howling.
Days rush by
in a haze of confusion.
Amid fleeting images
in dreams I wait,
gripped by the cold hand of reality.
My breath comes fast,
hard in my throat,
and memories of our time together
are all too real to me.
Another step is taken
alone, all but forsaken
by the image of purpose.
Another day of the journey
passes and is gone
as time flies swiftly on.
You are moving slowly farther
out of reach.
Nothing I can do will change
the sad end of the story.
It has come to this final chapter -
forever after.
