Souvenir

by V. Blake

i believe you think your honesty
prevents you from toying with emotions,
but admission isn't absolution
and you have walked quite far enough
under that banner.
let me be the one to tell you
that i was more than know,
and not what you say:
there is no coming back
from this, there is only dust--
visible now that my things
are gone.

Calmly "in your face". I like the steadiness to this and especially that last bit about the dust revealing that which is now missing. Just enough, not too much. Thanks.

I am left with an image I am stealing from you...thanks!
