Us No More

Us No More

She sits
forlorn, fearful, frail,
looking at me
uncomprehendingly.

Her eyes speak
in tears
that do not flow
that do not show
that do not know
but still
they drown my heart.

How can you leave?
says one unseen
tear.

Why can't we
be happy
together?
pleads an ethereal
tear.

What did I
do wrong?
asks another phantom
tear.

What happened
to our
love?
crys yet another
ghost of a
tear.

I'm scared!
weeps a waterfall
of haunting tears
that never fall
in the eternal
despairing
moment
before I turn away
to hide
my
tears.
