Identification

there’s a shift recognized
goes unseen by most
a voice goes from commanding
to the whisper of a ghost.

rejection so subtle
goes unseen by most
a presence longed for
hidden now, door closed.

Changed

My heart found closure
Over words left unsaid
I can’t force my mind
To lie in your bed

When trust is broken
It’s never the same
We can wish yesterday back
But already, she’s changed

Careful words

( ‘care’ ‘ful’ )

Needed, required

Thoughts of insignificance

( ‘in’ ‘significance’ )

Must return

Buried in

The end of what mattered

Fathomable

( ‘fathom’ ‘able’ )

Builds connection

Reasons to continue

A lifeline,

( ‘life’ ‘line’ )

Inwardly searching

Where is the passage
