Our nocturnal conversations Have ceased You are gone You are fading Into past tense Just me. This Pandemic Time’s thief And my fleeting moments Of peace with you Holding you one last time. I remain heartbroken Less angry More pensive than sorrowful Still easily tears tug quickly The abyss of your life A blinding dark unforeseen silence. Today’s emotional corrections Are cruel and filled with disappointments In the living and lazy Betrayals and mistrust Replace Remembrances That will forever remind me Of how your love A legacy you cast A comfort For all eternity.
