*

I discovered more tears,
hiding somewhere inside me
they managed to escape
marking despair down my cheeks
before falling to the floor
wet, full like mother’s milk
though not as sweet
they taste of sadness,
deep melancholia

I’ll never stop loving you
tears will fall again until
you return, or ...

we shared ecstatic moments
I was captured and wanted to share
my entire life with you
I am a woman,
every part of me
exists for sharing and now you're gone
now we only share the pain of separation

you wanted to be alone
yet I am alone,
as you wish
