Laid grey, stone on stone, to the ground.
She is so pale now, gone elsewhere,
to a place you cannot follow yet.
-
You know she will wait.
It's what she believes
and now, because of her, you.
-
You'll see her there,
in a week or a month or a year.
Every day without her is harder than the last.
-
You see it everywhere,
that grey-green colour of her eyes,
and every sight means something -
just as everything does.
-
It's as she said:
"so much life," and you feel
that letting yourself fade out like this
may be a betrayal of all she wanted for you.
-
It doesn't help you to stop hurting,
nor help you to hang on.
Life without her is nothing.
