No Recollection...
I can't recall when
I knew we would fail
nor the moment I
gave up and
let the dream
succumb to the reality
and the obstacles
we wanted so desperately
to overcome.
I tried hard to forget
the nights
I would sit and pretend
that the distance didn't
matter
that the pain of not being
able to touch you...to hold you
could be overcome by
sheer will
I tried to ignore how
my insides would churn
when something there
was wrong
and I had no way to
be with you
just a voice on
the phone
my words of comfort and
love sounding empty
even to me
I can't recall when
the fog of doubt
descended...
don't remember when
the candle of hope
was snuffed...
all I knew was that I
could no longer hear
your heartbeat in
my dreams.
