Snowflakes

Words meld together as we speak,

becoming a macabre array of goodbyes.

Falling still, even as you walk away,

I cannot deny that you have touched me.

Your soul screams for mercy, only

to acquiesce when more pain is battered into it.

Touching my face where your lips last grazed my cheek,

so long ago,

I remember whispering your name in a frenzy

of fanciful promises and orgasmic naivete.

Your vocation, never to cause me hurt,

forgotten, as I am, in a flurry of snowflakes.

Offhand, I wonder if they are snowflakes,

or the tangible incarnation of my innocence.

Shattered.

Shattered Innocense

The sass, the meloncholy, the refusal to regret - to live each word - I marvel (as usual) - Happy Holidays. ~A~

Re-absorbed: So much emoting jammed in each line. Magnificent composing! ~S~
