And some of your stories
will end in a way that
you won't get to
pour your drunken heart
out to strangers
narrating why it ended
without beginning.
The subjects will walk away
leaving behind shards
of their fragrance
with you trying to
clutch onto them
with all your might.
You won't get to flip
the pages of their journals
and wonder why was
your name lost
among a sea of others.
You won't have a sad letter
on your bedstand to
read under the lamplight
with a cup of hot coffee.
And most of all,
You won't get to weep
over the indifference of
your characters.
They will end and that's about it.
You see,
not all goodbyes are dead ends.
But, they're ends anyway.
Sometimes, of stories
and sometimes, of a part of you.
