These eyes have cried
A thousand tears
Sporadic as an evening shower
The periwinkles are drenched
But the grass does not shine
An overflowing fountain
I can no longer suppress
Not a dime to my name
For my one true wish
Speechless I have become
Constant quiver of the tongue
Restrain me from climbing out
Of a hole that is dismal and dark
Surely whatever I touch
Never turns to gold
Like a star that shone bright
Standing victorious
My sense of hearing
Is in impeccable form
I heard the slamming of the door
A daunting echo
I will never forget
Knowing without
A shadow of a doubt
You were gone
Never to return
A love once united
A life now divided
Yet in this existence
We must live
You will live without my love
And I will live with your choice
Monica St Hillaire, 2020.
