Story With the Untold Ending

Stories told throughout time
            The first line often ambiguous
            The timing unexpected
            Ending all assumption
Yours was a tale that pulled me in
Every line deepened the curiosity
All the new discovery only deeper drew
I devoured pages excitedly
            The smile you display in narration
            A tool that got me hook, line and sinker
            Twinkle in your eyes unquotable and nearly indescribable
            Possibilities building a shaky tower
This epic poem of life—so beautiful through your sight
Lines of connection heavily drafted by my hand
Expectation overwhelming though I tried to make it stem
Dam of emotions broke—knee deep too soon
            Comedy or tragedy?
            I tried to color inside the lines
            But all the same the shift came
            In my life—characters like you never stay long
The volume closed—epilogue unseen
All my guessing doesn’t reveal the timeline
Direction unclear—reader left feeling lost
Building resumes with feelings subsidence
            Story left untold, words left unsaid
            Lines all blurry with what’s underneath
            Timing all wrong for pages to align
            Ending entirely, always, ambiguous.
