Breaking Up

A short breakup poem about lost love, unanswered creative promises and the quiet pain of someone walking away.


in the silence of the distant past,
she asked about your interests.
writing poetry was one of them.

she asked if you’d write her one.
with time, it may propagate, though
hushed words are rarely shared.

shyly curious, she smiled…
then she walked out the door
& said goodbye —

breaking up is hard to do.
