THE ENGAGEMENT
When you told me the news
a part of me stopped coming with me
- something like hope.
You words provoked an avalanche of memories
that froze my mind, now naked without hope.
I could not but consider
the quirk of fate that would join his name with yours
- instead of mine.
Time cannot completely heal
what pain has burned into the flesh of memory.
The future now lies forlorn
without any prospect of relief or hope.
Even dreams need an anchor to reality.
