TERMINUS

These last remaining moments

are torture.

Having said everything

that needed to be said

(and much that was not)

we are left

without words

without thoughts

without anything

to get us through these excruciating instants

as we wait

for the bus to finally separate us.

Our time has past

and the sooner I've fled your place

the better

but we have time left

minutes that feel like hours

as, bored

I wait to board.

It is awful

it is intense

it is awkward

it is the last time we will share

and I desperately hope

it lasts not a second longer.
