Absence

The weak sun on my face

mirrors my hearts joy.

The lack of warmth,

the absence of your light.

 

Suddenly, this is hurting me.

 

My capacity for pain

lessens day by day.

This lack of love

erodes the sense of self.

 

I'm losing against these waves.

 

Despair , loneliness,

the emptiness inside me

filled with the still black

pool of tenebrous rage.

 

Why don't you love me?

Why don't you want me?
