There was a Time

There was a moment,

An inhale of breath,

That sparkled like dust motes

Made of dreams.

There was a whisper,

A sigh on the dance floor,

That swept through her eyes

Like a mirage.

There was a kiss,

An offering of life,

That met with silence

Like death.

There was a change,

A heart that found truth,

That shone like stars

Made into reality.

There was a silence,

A void in the light,

That gathered within him

Like broken mirrors.

There was a word,

An ending of hope,

That showed what she'd given

Made into regrets.

There was a moment,

A rush of remorse,

That left him abandoned

Like her memories.
