My latest work.

FOR HER

From your heart there is silence; and has been for some time.
A beat that used to drive two lives together has ceased.
The tune is played for somebody else.
Face forward, no regrets, onwards and upwards.
These dying days, sat waiting in the middle for the next stage.
Release me and let me move on from these thoughts.

I do not need to see you advertise your love for somebody else.
This is not to say that I still care.
This is not to say I feel anything other than contempt.
Just the pure injustice of seeing happiness bloom somewhere so underserving.
Nonchalant, indifferent, forgetful and shallow.
There was a family here and it's as lost to you as it is to me.

These eyes of mine have become so vacant.
I see no sign of a wish to repent.
I wish to destroy the smug and content.
Behind a mask of calm I am incandescent.
