Regrets and Farewells

Fog swirls within the mind,
An out of reach memory.
These forgetful thoughts,
All but thrown away.

Trying hard,
Grasp one last thing,
A dent within the mist,
One step to epiphany.

That last shredded remnant,
Reveals a fatal thing,
A terrible mistake,
I left, separating bonds.

No other remembrance,
To guide my way,
Just a wrongful nostalgia,
A reminder of a regret.

That rueful night,
Ties to our mourning,
Soft spoken were,
Those hateful words.

They stripped away intent,
Took away the history,
Helped me walk away,
From where promises lay broken.

Now left with vague heart ache,
Crying out to the night.
I'm left a burdened body,
I think, I hear, I speak.

Left with one,
Overwhelming thought,
Yearning stolen, incomplete.
Never say goodbye...
