And so I wait

And so I wait

Pendant

My life uneventful

Deprived, of your return

The gate, becomes addictive

And I, its dependant a devotee

In its focus survive the last fragments of you

Once clear in their familiarity

Now a well-worn and ill-fitting puzzle

Its essential elements, furtive in their lay

Memories effervesce, placating the pleasantries

That substituted our bond

All in the shroud of your deceit

The hours pass

As I deflect the complusion

With a silent chant

Calming the habitual glances

Each time the breeze brushes against the catch

Knowing, there's no shared abandon

Only time can inflict that wound

Left alone with only the past as a guide to what may occur

Instinct reigns

It gouges in the hours of darkness

When I used to know you were safe

Dismembering dream, intersecting fear

Sometimes I wake to silence what is already suppressed

Only again to hear the faint chink of the catch
