Old memories creep
into steeled interiors,
sharp edges exposed,
escorting no excuses,
abrasive against the soul. 

* * * 

Otherwise convinced
that it was easily done,
to give up one’s heart
in the shadow of a moon
that once belonged to us both. 

* * * 

Brutal reminders
of sweet promises once made
illuminate truth
that nothing short of dying
could completely say goodbye.
