Reconciliation

A shoulder that once
supported weight.
Sheltered a lover’s head.
Now forsaken
cannot carry own.

A silhouette never meant
to stand alone.

Fades into darkening
decadent desolate backdrop.
Whilest future breaks
into broken tomorrow.
Reason lies groundless.

A shoulder soothed once.
Supported weight.
Consoled a lover’s head.
Now forsaken.
Reason lies groundless.

A silhouette lives on alone.
