Earth Turns On Hurt

Questioning drops
Of crumbling quiet
With golden words
Is confined misplacement.

Can you reach across
Sunset-streaked colors
To find my contentment
Without you?

I remember clearly-
Birthday morning overcast,
Sleepy-eyed surprise;
Shines in a dark place.

A year has passed
Since that promise.
Lessons burned,
Goodbye.

do you think that will be understood, or even read, by who it was written about?

Probably not, no, I would bet against it. And I have two feelings about that question: One, who cares? I wrote it for me. And two, too bad for her. Sadly, she'll never understand what I freely gave her.
