Reconciliation 
By Ashlyn Hayes and Thalassa Brytaye 

A single breath holds the silence -
“Let’s just be friends,” he said. 
I agree with light defiance 
And then my hope is dead. 

Wars have raged with much less passion
Than the fight burning within - 
Heart and mind: their zeal and reason - 
Nothing is as it should have been.

What should have been is far behind
All’s lost in final consummation.
Peace between my heart and mind;
I’ve made a reconciliation.


"Reconciliation" is the first poem my best friend, Thalassa Brytaye, and I have collaborated on. I think it turned out really well, and it is much better than I could have done with the idea on my own! She is a phenomenal poet and short story writer, so be sure to check out her work at her blog:  brytaye.blogspot.com. Your day will be instantly improved by reading literally anything she writes!
