UNKNOWN ENDINGS

Most endings come in silence, soft and slow,

no trumpet calls, no final warning show.

You wait for closure, final and clear,

but life slips past without even the slightest cheer.

It is just a moment like the rest,

no hint, no sign, no way to know the best.

You hold the past as if it is the present,

unaware that they have already left.

It passes without a sign or trace,

no final glance, no last familiar face.

Regrets arrive, not shouting but with a sigh,

an everlasting, silent, long goodbye.

Chasing the endings that would not show,

in your mind, where the faded dreams go.

And in the calm, you find the truth we already know

No farewell words, no meaning left to show,

Most endings fade in silence, soft and slow.
