A hoarse groan
Echoes in the cave
That you have become
Death has been mining
Digging out the rich
Mineral of your life
Haunting your emptiness
Breaking our closeness
Apart
Not knowing what
Your eyes are trying
To say
Their pleading
And the fear
That you want me
To leave before it’s time
We no longer know
How to be
With each other
A tautness has entered
To replace the ease
Learned of lifelong
Intimacy
Parting is approaching
And we are not able
For it
