Your last words
Seemed laiden with a finality
(You did what you had to do):
I’ll never contact you.
Yet therein, also, was
Transmitted sheer ambivalence
And blatant contradiction.
Your short message
Was packed with fiery words:
Dramatic,
Insignificant,
Unnecessary,
Avoid,
Not mad,
Peace,
Never;
Don’t try to reach me,
Was the end.
And a feeling of love lost.
