Poetic Referendum(s) On Life

Every Moment Without You

Every moment is a movie scene locked
in indecisive emotion, watching you
walk away again, out every door into any arms
other than mine, because I can't
give you what you need until this story's end --
if I can get you there with me.
Every story starts with sweet serendipity,
like you and me, when we discovered
each other. We've had highs and lows
since then. And now I'm stuck in my own story.

How can we get to the end, without you
here to see me through this intermission?

Why would you leave now? Where
is that special vision you use to see
right through a sorry soul like me,
help me realize, actualize and be
what you deserve? The story's not over,
even if you never come back. I'll struggle
to carry this to a sadder conclusion.
