Analysis of Orphaned Moments
Do your lies hold as hostage,
every truth you never told
Has your heart become a stranger,
to the wishes it unfolds
Is your past if then forsaken,
free at last of its own self
Orphaned memories never spoken
—orphaned moments never felt
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
