" 2547 - slowly away post haste "

---

you left me to the wolves of regret,
which ravage my body
with a savage remorse.

what manner of beast
willingly does this
to another thus?

was it in the realization
that love proved
too much a burden to handle,

that you gracefully walked away;
untouched and slightly affected?

whichever the particular version of the tale,
however sweetly spoken the phrases,

i with closed eyes half-opened
maddeningly pursue
your ghost
in every following romance;

the heart left wounded
and dissatisfied
in your departure.
