For A Moment...

...then they slipped away

By Ken DonnerPublished 12 months ago 1 min read

Thought I found the perfect words to say,

For a moment,

Then they slipped away,

But in that moment everything was good.

You understood my innermost,

Saw the ghost of things that used to be,

I'd found a way to help you see,

Beyond the pain,

Blame,

Wrong or right,

To put things in a different light,

You had your own epiphany,

Knew the ties left binding you and me,

Are ties built deep and meant to last,

Irregardless of the past,

Saw your warm, accepting, glowing heart,

I sensed you ready to restart,

I'd found the perfect words to say,

For a moment,

Then they slipped away.
