Meeting in a land of
darkness
A land of unrelenting
cold
We held each other’s icy
hands
Hoping we weren't forced
to fold
Searching for a word in
silence
Something to hang a
thread on to
The tears fell ever more
frequent
The constant feeling of
black and blue
Slowly the pain became a
mold
Always present but
stored away
In times a mask was
needed
A faked smile put on
display
We carried on in the
graying dawn
The one’s feelings
growing stronger
The other’s heart
remained untouched
As if he could love no
longer
We wrote of other love
in poems
Our souls bleeding with
open wounds
We wrote of fear and of
heartache
One love’s stifled in a
false cocoon
We visited far off
places
From our memories to
Shanghai
We spoke of uncertain
futures
But never of saying
goodbye
So now one sits in the
silence
With the deafening sound
of air
She carries on
throughout her day
Given only to despair
One day the darkness
shall lift again
And with it, life’s full
delights
Until then she sits
heartbroken
Allergic to love and
light.
