Vanishing lifespans of love.
Used to be years and months.
Shortened to holiday weekends
and then in between meals.

fading echoes of endearment,
this lingering glance of a hand,
the cool remains of pillow’s sigh,
a burning veil of lips crinkling
into white smoke,
waning shadows
that linger in the back of eyes.
