ONE

“Denial”

— — — — — — — — — -

Maybe, she said

we could look around-

and see something new?

Maybe we could

Look into the sky-

and see nothing but blue?

Wait- says he

No, remember

This isn’t who we

Were meant to be

We were supposed

to look up, and know

That somewhere,

Somehow, believe

that we are not alone

TWO

“Hopes for His Widow”

— — — — — — — — — — —

Can you see something

When you look within yourself

-besides the darkness?

When you stop seeking,

and start seeing the real world

-maybe, then you will.

But for me, my love

I am done. I have grown old

-and have given up.

THREE

“Acceptance of The End”

— — — — — — — — — — —

Once again, she looks to him

His eyes were shallow, his figure thin

And told him that maybe soon

Not now, nor this cold afternoon

That someday she will believe, too

That it is possible, maybe even true,

That she will walk once more

And even stronger than before

She will love someone again.

But wait- it’s The End
