Shadows fleet by.

Fading images of you.

Your face disintegrating,

Into a million shards

At my feet,

Without a noise,

Without an echo.

Memories bid their exit

With a resounding

Silence.

My audience claps

For the finale.

Congratulate myself

For releasing the kite,

For giving it freedom,

For letting it fly so high.

Watch it fly so gaily,

See how it never turns back

For a second glance,

Not even a second chance,

Never returning to me.

The strings are cut,

My heart strings untangled,

And I fill my void.

THE END
