In that one instance
where I see you walk away,
my eyes on you yet
my mind far away,
thinking up pictures
with no seams,
points of light
that haunt me in my dreams.
That one instance
where I struggle to say
Stay
and when I can't, that's
when the flood drowns me,
blackness grabs me,
rapes my mind to turn me
numb.
My darling.
I love you yet I no longer know how.
