as homily

results may vary
when words pursue their quarry
people turn wary

simple is better
even in Dear John letter
feelings unfetter

angry verbs go rogue
no matter how softly spoke
estrangements invoke

lurking cold as ice
gray emptiness can entice
psyche pays the price

assessing regret
of what mind will not forget
when we should reset

memories take roles
in filling self-image's holes
hoping no one knows

found in the leavings
of human life's proceedings
teller's true feelings

one can only hope
being's most ingested dope
provides future scope
