Moving on
Found your letter today.
Unsaid words flood back,
smiles forgotten, unsure again
if the right choices were.
Love is no highway
doubt keeping us in petrol stations
places mapped unexplored -
arrogant you'll take me
in the wrong direction
even if it's the way I'd have gone myself.
Cruelty comes in small doses,
unforgiving in the sunlight,
me leaving bombs in shiny packages as
shadows grow your face to retirement.
Moments left in envelopes fading, my name
you scrawled on the front disappearing
like the morning you left for the last time.
