Slowly…

Slowly,
The love songs became mute,
Slowly
Hummed by lips of singing shadows
bitter silence of another cold night

Slowly,
You became a familiar stranger
Slowly,
Transforming from the one that I knew
to someone that I don’t.

Doomed from the start,
Maybe it was never meant to be…
Maybe we were meant to be washed away
like footprints from the face of a lonely shore…
Slowly.
