Sunset

On a coastal cliff I cast off my fetters of you,
in meaningless unseen gesture
 
 
 
 
Whisper and word echoed unshackled,
harmoniously resonating against receiving sands
and ravenous waves
 
 
 
 
Quietly contemplating wind and fog 
desolately motionless against
slow soaring skies and 
Low roaring ocean
 
 
 
I turned to walk 
Then turned to stride
then night turned darker still 
and everything became
darker still
 
I swam through gravel and glass 
until white hot anger consumed me.
until my disgraced luster burned away 
to blackened contrivance
 
 
 
My anguished bargaining 
turned to muted bitterness
my enduring silence consigned me to exile 
 
  
I’ll never forget how I lost everything again
At least I forgave myself.

I felt completely drenched in

I felt completely drenched in your unfolding emotions by the time I reached your powerful finish. This is a heavy, wonderful write. Even if the experience it took to create this is not something I would wish upon you.

Thanks

I appreciate your sentiment. I was having a bad night remembering the last few years and I wasn't feeling well. 
I made this and now I feel better. 

Thanks for reading.

Great Ending

.

A image for the absolutely unretrievable. Fine lines on the art of loss. "...slow soaring skies and/Low roaring ocean" - bravo line.

Thanks

Sorry I'm away for so long. 

I rarely write because I have to be in a specific headspace. 

Thanks for sticking around. 

I am a fan, though XI is my favorite of those two.  ^_^
