the persistence of loss
I can resist
the fear of love
pent up
ave restlessness like moths,
enlightening me
with stains
of non-being
despite my dreams.
the loss drags on
with quaint wings
of fleshless flies,
quavered echoes
wincing and cringing
day and night
flaunts concealment;
shaded tears
shedding surprises.
the persistence of love is ours
to lose. what makes you think
I want to share
the heartache too?

" the loss drags on

Loved the ending, as well. Good spill
