One More Goodbye
(#wip-ACA)
Nothing else exists
As my hand covers your heart
And one more goodbye…
Halts…
Grudgingly…
Lingers there
Where-
Nothing Else Exists.
-Words fail me
And One More Goodbye…
Lifting veils-
Closing windows-
Still…
Nothing else exists
Beyond your touch
Whispers
And breathless sighs
Lovers’ ...
And…
One More Goodbye…
Parting…
-And…
Nothing Else Exists
Beyond …
My hand
Your heart…
And a wish…
Just one more…
One More Goodbye-
