They met
the day after Christmas
as agreed
They sat across
the table from each other
in an eerie silence
I placed the papers
in front of them
for signatures
And with the
stroke of a pen
their forever ended
in silence
No words
were needed
and none
were spoken
He got up
and quickly left
she remained
and softly sobbed
I know
that funerals
are not as sad
or as painful
as when there
is an intentional
end to love
After a few moments
she dried her eyes
and left
no words were needed
and none were spoken
but in my soul
I thought of Spring
and in my heart
I wished a
forever love
would find her
