i’ll cry
every night
for you

for our joy
for our pain
for this gift

you
already
gave

you know how
there are
both
no words
and
infinite words
for
us

our love
aligned us
for a moment

an eclipse

at first
we moved
towards each other

and now
we are moving
apart

today
i felt
the void
between us

echoes
of loving words
fading

you
contradicted
our love

with
your look

the unafraid
are people like
me
who can see past
what others see

my soulmates
here
i find
those who tire
of the grind

the status quo
is what we
tried
but
spirits inside
won't be
denied

for moments
or even seconds
we crave
the times
we deny the world
of a slave

i grew you
in my
heart
but
i had to
let you
go
