Saw Him Cry

Sounds shrilling

Pieces in flight

Deep thumping to the ground

I felt your tears

Against my back

I cry that you are crying

 

Stop it!

It’s madness!

You are out of control

It’s insane!

Why take all this beauty

In shame?

 

It’s so painful and deep

Each drop of you

I weep

No more, more gone

Long gone

 

I see you cry

I know you die

I’m lost without you

Pieces of you fill the air

My home is of you

All of my being collects yours

 

I’m sorry to be in this time

To witness your final lines

I can’t be happy without you

The void is a new reality

No sun, too much sun

I cry with you

Always, my tree of life
