Break-up II

It was a break-up like the movies

Where you both sob

Eagerly

Desperately

Trying to hold onto each other

Not wanting to let go

Cause you both don't want to face

What's not there anymore

Awaiting that "dramatic" pause followed by both walking their separate paths away into the "sunset". And it don't come.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

You capture this oh so sad moment well in this short freeverse poem. It encapsulated the futility and the pain that such a situation produces.
