I still want to hear
I still want to know
I still want to cuddle
To talk in the dark
I still want to be with you
I am still always here
I am afraid of moving
I am yours, to be as you wish me
—I hear you.
I feel cold and should go
I feel silent inside
I feel distance and time
I feel the world’s indifference
—I’m sorry you feel isolated and lonely
We used to walk here
We used to hold hands
We used to feel warmth
We used to know with certainty
We once merged
We once kissed
We once touched skin
Once is always yes but
—I know I affect you
Once is gone, it’s late,
I must choose parting again
Or join you in cold silence
Stone absorbs tears
Leaves mineral crystals
Dissolved in rain
Blood stains stone
Leaves forensic traces
Invisible in sun.
