Empty Voice

I heard your voice today,

in my mind...thru the voice of a friend.

She asked me about you...

the convoluted answers came from a distant memory,

....funny that I had forgotten so much.



The wounds reopened...

loneliness poured through the

gates...

but quickly closed again.



Pain ensnares the mind...

regret poisons the soul.



I will forget you again...

but not tonight.
