thejimandsandralament

sadder than anyone knows
a splitting of love
a splitting of lives
two lost friends
a pity, a shame
chopped up a name
a momentary gladness
a cold and sudden sadness
a slamming of a door
with a key and a lock
a wiping of a tear
the ticking of the clock
a child in the wilderness
you'll miss all the silliness
sun in the morning
same every day
an empty cup of need
a hunger love can't feed
