Absence and Abandonment

They were a curious kinship of invisible forces

discreetly whispering an invisible intimacy,

but spoken affections instead echoed hollow

and smothered the flame of the sorodne duše.

Familiar indifference told with a silent dialogue

of wordless voices lost in a spiraling abyss,

withering in the futility of callous empathy

and dolefully abandoned by the two riven souls.
