Crying tears
Of solemn thought
drip
drop
the pain
it hurts
the sadness, the grief
come back,
my Love!
arise from
your mahogany bed!
Embrace me
stiffened cold
I love you!
Come back,
to love me!
Handfuls of dirt
tossed behind my back
I beg
Please
Don't linger here...
I trace the grooves
and spell out your name
as the cold
unloving marble
numbs my fingerips
It rains, it pours
It streams down my cheek
It mingles with my tears
My sadness
Tattered with matted hair
I sit
and cry
