absorbed were the moments of two diverging paths.
his time ever so sweet, but brief.
while he wore no watch, many notified her of the way he told time.
but she seldom had any room in her heart for outward perception.
his image untainted, she forsook comfort to seek his best.
before his calculated absence was spotted,
it dawned as sure as a new day.
for he and she couldn’t be a them.
some folks you see, destroy each other.
the destroy that haunts closely, fooled for a shadow.
it begs the surrender of more with just a beckon.
perhaps different, were it for circumstance.
but silence spoke louder
& he told time just as they said.
but her bags were packed long before the line went dead.
