Scraps

“When did we speak to each other last?”
Her question was a reminder of
Unspoken grudges, silent wars
Empty words to pull daily routines

“Why did I not think of this before?”
“I don’t blame you. It happens…
When we live in different worlds
share a home, but not a goal
Priorities go helter-skelter
a blame culture grows…”

He walked to the door, looked back
“Is there something left to be salvaged?”

  1. It’s those “unspoken grudges, silent wars” that get in the way every time, so well communicated in all that’s said here, Reena. I hope the parting question is more optimistic than defeatist.
