You went without a word
Never did look back
The lament for you unheard
Didn’t heed my voice crack
Did you hear?
The consistent wail
No I fear
Then you wouldn’t fail
Waited till
Forbearance, desire, temper
All adrift in time so still
Fragmented like a fallen mirror
If only once
You had turned
At least to steal a glance
But alas it was never returned
When at last
Even the last streak faded
Sparks lost
Leaves etiolated
I turned
Walked away
Never cared
Hopes astray
But then you turned
A moment too late
Vagueness prevailed
Only a fable desolate.
