I wish I could
anoint your feet with my tears
I wish I could give you
The remainder of my life
To add to yours,
Or simply erase
The lines on your face.
You are the fountain
That nourished my growth,
Without the wetness of your love,
The fragrance of your water,
Or the trickling sounds of
Your voice,
I shall always feel
thirsty.
