The Burn Out

 "Should I go?"

"It's best you do."

A short conversation

Words too few.

Yet mirror cracks from side to side

Shards of unrealized dreams

Strewn a around, scattered on ground

Pain and regret flow down in streams

Leaving desolate eyes

But broken heart clings on

As prayers spew 

May all be well.

 

Perhaps one day Comes solace

Per chance a re-run

Not the same as before

Never the same

Just enough to hold on

Desperate attempt

To rekindle dead fires

Till ashes grow cold

Flames doused in hearts once bold.

Burnt out souls indifferent

Neither sad nor glad

Submissive to blows.
