"just a few"
just a few words they use to criticize.
just a few more tears that fall, due to
just a few additional exchanges of empty words.
just a few less times I say i love you.
just a few months before I say im gone.
just a few hours until I say i just cannot continue.
just a few occasions I die a little inside.
just a few times my heart breaks a little bit.
just a few moments that take all the time we have left,
just a few days waning, pending an ending.
just a few fewer smiles shared, lacking care.
just a few declining glares, with a glaring silence.
just a few unsubstantial words left unspoken.
just a few shortened encounters claiming cold seconds.
just a few ignored thoughts filling the air with humid hate.
just a few fleeting joys born in false promises.
just a few fighting finales made of shallow responses.
just a few failed tries to mend frayed ties.
just a few gazes that fall to glassy glances.
just a few broken voices that fall to aimless wandering in darkness.
just a few floating hopes that slowly fall into a growing transparency.
just a few just a fews until
just a few turns into sometimes until
sometimes turns into usually until
usually turns into always until
always becomes nothing.
just a few nothings until
every nothing illuminates the hope.
the lost hope that was once found in just a few.
just a few meant a chance for change.
now every nothing leaves a gaping nothing.
the nothing that ultimately takes everything.
