Ending day

We talked away the end of the sun’s fade
the room grew dark and her eyes grew grey
she told me that I should leave …
there was nothing…
nothing more to say.

I can’t believe its ended now;
all the years still linger with me, somehow.

The rooms … and the houses and the faces
all the months and the places.

All my lies and untruths have come back to me now
its a hard bitter thing, to see.
