ANGUISH


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
