Too thin –
you now exist
within
a pause
as dawn retracts
her claws
from day;
you fade, while I
must stay.

Wow! Ryan, this is a superbly written musette and the image is stunning. Your words both haunt and sadden though I can truly say that I have not experienced the kind of heaviness I feel while reading your words – especially those last ones. An emotionally raw write, my friend.

“As dawn retracts her claws” – very strong there. Love how you’ve captured memory here – perfect image as well. Hope all is well in your world, my friend!
Awesome. I’m really liking this form. I actually wrote one the other day, thanks to you. I’ll post it later this week I think. I want to do some artwork to it first.
🙂
Have a wonderful day Ryan.

Ohhh.. definitely gave me chills and goosebumps.. ahh how I have missed your poems.
A memory that vanishes away with the dreams and sleep. Again, you show that not the departed but the one remaining at the dock, is the saddest.
You now exist within a pause .., .. your lines and words are beautifully drawn!
The memories of someone we once loved, will, always and forever, haunt us, no matter how much we longed to be, exorcized from them, there’s, no way out, we can only, detox ourselves, little by little, getting off the, dependencies, bit by bit, until, one day, we get our, old selves from before, back again.
