Three Words
how can three words give way to the twisted knot in my chest yet another three make my heart soar beyond words
every time I hear them. every time I think them. three words.
I miss you. Please don’t leave. I love you.
Three dots in an ellipsis, its silent song whispering “life goes on”
cruel tricks of the doubting mind swirling in deep gray tones of heartbreak as I wonder which three words she’ll chose to say
across the miles of rolling hills and flat dry lands between us I hear the whispers of the wind say the most heartbreaking three
“she’s moved on”
