The Last
written by: Mel Andela
A quiet
That fills your ears,
Pads them with silence
And makes the world fade into
Nothing.
The goodbye
Is across the room,
The only thing between is
A pause we wish would stretch on
Forever.
A few short steps
Hurts more than a mile.
Almost familiar;
You
But you are not there.
A hand
That has held ours,
A face
That has held a lifetime
Of tears
Of frowns
Of smiles
Of hurt
Of love.
You;
But you are not there.
Mel fell in love with the magic of storytelling at a young age. Realizing she could create that magic too, she started writing as soon as she could hold a pencil. Mel lives in a small town in Ontario, Canada, reading anything and everything, and writing short fiction and poetry whenever she gets the chance.
