TO SOME EXTENT - -

if not extremely close, never mind !
however something is still 
remained among us,
certain traces,
few have
disappeared, some left indelible - - 
marks, some are shrouded
in the mist of emotion, 
indeed, it's not 
so easy in 
life - - 
permanent riddance, some affinity -
makes the burrow beneath
the conscience, tho'
unseen but 
remains
with 
self-absorbed, that's your love or -
something else, I do not know, 
but heart says, the pain
is unfinished yet,
maybe 
the wound is healed to some extent,
