Soft-spoken mumbles, pathways to the past
No articulation for fear of recalling better times.
Our gestures, slight and subtle,
Hint at a riddle better left unsolved.
As earth rises to the clouds,
So did our romance culminate.
That space, a chasm between us.
Though I loved you once, no more.

Yes, sometimes those riddles are better left unsolved, for that cannot bridge the chasm! Like where you took this!
