Serpentinarium

A face I've known forever
A shoulder shrug in acceptance
Grieving eyes regard me in compassion
I return the same and they start
The tears for a life together lost
Bitter, seeming endless, ruining my vision

I can't believe I'm here

I . . .

You . . .

We . . .

Misty silence, uncertainty, fear

Grief

Heartbroken grief . . .

It's late and time to go
