THE FINAL CHAPTER:
To the finally, quiet voice: Finally, I close the chapters no bookmarks, no rereads,
no lingering on underlined lines
or tracing where you used to breathe. The Polaroid, our day in light, I fed it to the flame. It curled like all your promises soft edges, scorched with shame.
Our laughter once lit galaxies but silence has its place. The stars don’t mourn the sun at dusk, they simply make more space.
No final speech, no tearful end, just smoke, and then the dark. Some loves don’t die in grand collapse they flicker out, and spark.
I think the moon will orbit tonight no more spirals through scattered ache, no more drifting past the pull of a gravity we faked. For once, when the moon comes up, I don’t think of you. It hangs there silent, silver, and whole not as a symbol, not as a wound. No longer your face etched into the craters, no echoes in its light. Just the moon, untouched by memory,rising for itself. And I sit beneath it no longer longing for you. I can watch it glow for what it is not what it used to mean.
Your voice no longer haunts my name, your ghost no longer stays. It fades like mist across a lake at the break of softer days.
I walked away. I didn’t run. No begging, no disaster. Just me, and peace, and silence now finally, I close the chapters.
And maybe now, the tides will calm, the stars won’t feel so tight. Maybe I can sleep, for once the moon feels right tonight.And if I dream, I hope it’s blank no echoes of your face. Just empty skies, and weightless thoughts, and orbit in its place.
Goodbye, the moon is whole,and in it’s place from now on.
