A Spark Fades
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What were we thinking?
Wondering why and second-guessing
those things that made us real?
Did we really think that after being SO
far apart for SO long we could unleash those
things that were already evident? You told
me I wasn’t real. You wrote me a letter
questioning MY reality. You question the
way I feel. Was I always so densely prevalant?
A spark is now extinguished – have you been
replaced? Replaced; I think not but readjusted
in heart. I now understand my feelings of past,
you see, I was merely angry at HER and angry at ME.
I can write only in prose to filter out my soul –
Do you understand my fear; The one of being cold?
I felt as though things were worked-out and good,
but am left wondering how you could; we worked so
hard and understood for so long – and now our
friendship is left questioned.
I guess the spark was wrong.
