Smoke, grey disperses in wisps
of wistfulness,
clouding an already misty mindset.
Dreading the necessary,
hopelessly hoping all will be well;
preparing for a sudden stop.
Mull over mistakes past,
look back to wrong.
Unready for the hurt to come,
and not even for myself so much.
Easy enough to live without,
painful to say no.
Set an ultimatum,
reek havoc in disgust.
Dissatisfaction plain
status unsure.
Coordinating the heart,
aligning the mind,
bring two together,
even as we part ways.
Take a break, release you,
to save you from losing me.
Patience useful, doubtful,
frightening, images of
a world without you.
