To Melt a Binding
January 10th
The date we agreed upon
A long month ago
An anxious delay
Rumination, no verdict
The sofa summons
A quivering lip
A sinking heart, admittance
Her bravest tear falls
My own soon follow
We soak in sorrow, in love
Futile, we hold tightly
Emotion fills us
I cling to hope and relief
Promises assuage
Hollow, stripped, broken
Affection, convincing lies
The clock is frozen
Moist cheeks press in grief
I’ll never find another
I lay blessed and robbed
A long, final kiss
So momentous and serene
But healing nothing
