Sadness Overcomes Me
My thoughts are
incomprehensible
I burn them on my skin
I write them on
the surface of the moon
where I write your name
in unsteady hand
My heart
once so full
is now empty
its beat slow
withered and brittle
in this arid season
My eyes
swollen
sees red in my
peripheral vision
where your shadow
lingers still
and my soul crushed
under the weight
of lifetimes
lost and found
found and lost
loss
searching for...
My voice
is silent and
my throat sore and raw
from calling out your name
in lonely days and
even lonelier nights
for years and years
and I remember
My mouth
is closed
I no longer
feel the need to speak
for I have said
all that I needed to say
upon listening ears
repeated loops
of "I love you"
and I
will lose you
again.....
