Lambent lights flicker
as you pack
my laughter
and your loyalty;
crushing,
zipping up
our future-
punctuating
you leaving
my now
ischemic heart.

I Watched You Leave
Lambent lights flicker
as you pack
my laughter
and your loyalty;
crushing,
zipping up
our future-
punctuating
you leaving
my now
ischemic heart.
