Description on open ended sentences we hang
waiting on a lifetime
aged and aging
shades of gray
and grass grown over hand-drawn maps
'til something's missing

and it's time like sideshow mirrors
half reflection
half interpretation
taken lightly
so no one knows it's gone

from bedsides and empty tables
from postcards and broken records
from phones gone silent
everywhere
and all around us
new beginnings

it's a private sorrow shared
and on display
shamed by years
we paint our fictions
'til they're all that we remain

it's a lot like life's love lost

This is a beautiful poem. It's one of those ones I have to read twice and really let the words sink in. You certainly have a talent; keep it up!

What a creative mind you have. I just wish I could have a small bit of your talent. Your words always make me feel something, but I wish I could put those feelings into words like you have.

I agree with the person above me. The last line is very good.
It reminds me of a mystery novel in a way.
I really like this.
