Catharsis


You entered with a whisper and a hello

You stayed for a bit and forever

I couldn't say why time seemed to be on pause and fast forward

Or how laughter exploded in high definition

What I do know, is when you left

The betrayal was enough to suffocate

Enough to make you taste salty-sweet

And your memories take on a pond water hue

You entered with a whisper and hello

But you left with a bang and goodbye
