the die is cast

the bones are thrown

let the pieces fall where they may

my love, unrequited burns deep in my chest

the tears of an unwanted knowledge sting, sliding slowly from my eye

there is little comfort for me here

living today as yesterday

reaching for the absurdly unattainable

holding onto the hope that you will return to me

it was always you

the time for us has past

heaving a sigh of reluctant acceptance

i precariously balance my emotions on the back shelf of my life and lift my chin to face another day alone.....
