In the Moonlight

The twins in bed,
she sits by the window,
resplendent in white
and waits for his step
on the garden path.

The door opens,
his long stride towards her,
her cheek kissed
and he continues without pause.
She follows him, hopeful.

How was your day? she asks
He doesn?t hear her,
the only sound is his shattered dreams.
Let me help you, she says
He sits down,
staring at the hand that isn?t his.

Isolated from the hearts that need him,
silencing his memories,
trying to forget himself.
Yet she can do nothing
as she was there.
His choice was for her and for them.

She goes to bed and he follows,
yet there is a message for him,
An old friend from another life.
He ponders, considers it?
Then deletes it without hearing.
