Untitled

Late in the afternoon
she sits with me
trapped in the corner’s shadows
a memory that comes and goes
light hair unlike my own
dark eyes that mourn the absence between us
her life a task of waiting she did not choose  
 
The light shines through her body
her eyes fill with tears
but still she says nothing
nothing at all
 
She waits until the sun disappears
and then she goes
taking my heart with her
leaving a silent space no words can fill
 
My love
the one I’ll never have  
who calls to me  
so softy that nobody hears
