Ahhhh the agony of unrequited love
Even Though You Are Gone

I will inhale your breath
and exhale my life
let your absence consume me
as dawn pierces the night
and fondly remember
the almost but never kiss
when we got close but couldn’t
bridge our distance
and built walls to cling to
this façade of resistance.

It might take a priest
to expel you from my flesh
forty days and forty nights
just for me to refresh
to open my eyes
along with the dawn
and not let a tear fall
even though you are gone.
