Parting

Across the breach that staggers
there goes a careworn sigh.
It rises for a moment
then falls down to die.

A remembrance of the instant
that raged within a cry.
It had risen for a moment,
then fell down to die.

A wish that could not ever,
until you said goodbye.
It lingered for a moment,
before it fell- and died.
