The Break
My last words, whispered with bated breath
before you turned and left
leaving me alone and broken
like a fallen egg from a robin’s nest.
No goodbyes, only brief words hurled
as you disappeared
per chance we’ll meet again my love
in another world.

“My last words, whispered with bated breath” – so much in these words. We do try (sometimes) one last time knowing it is not going to make any difference.
And, the closing lines gives so much hope.
