Dissipate

She is Gone.

wrestled away from my Heart.

with a Fight.

Flight.

I dared not let go.

but Gone.

she Went away.

from my Heart to stay.

Forever in the Grave.

and without arms to hang on

-under-

she sank.

gone like the mist of breath in

cold.

weeping puddles in

Snow.

Burning sleet.

Heavy. Heart. Beats.
