Fallout

The silence is so unnerving,

Our words unsaid passing through our eyes,

A pause in time so long, so hurtful,

A million expressions gone awry,

Thoughts spilling out early yet so true,

Your face in the past but clear,

Our hands were one someday,

But not now, not today,

Not a figment of my haunted imagination,

Nor a speck dark in memory,

Our picture scrambled, a jigsaw it is now,

It all happened in just a fraction,

The moment unfortunate that we fell apart.
