Speechless

  • on finally reaching the end

    ~

    as he reached the threshold
    he hesitated
    stopped
    breathed in
    partially turned
    head cocked
    breath caught
    hand resting on the door

    their eyes met
    held
    each wanting to speak

    …silence

    she sighed
    looked away
    he dropped his head
    exhaled
    pushed open the door
    stepped through
    walked slowly on
    never looking back

    it had all been said
