Don't Leave
a moment of silence, then,
a slice whose strength can only come from
the pureness of love.
gone. leaving. from me.
short breaths.
no. it can't happen.
it is.
words. nonsense words.
pull themselves into a hysterical lullaby.
no. why?
a new dream. your dream. my dream.
you. slipping through my thin fingertips.
leaving. gone.
tears. coming. faster. a silent cry.
no. it happened. no.
a song. sadness. it echoes. it rings.
its me, my life. which is gone.
a single tear. that's all it takes.
