perhaps i will sit with my grief
hold it with both hands
stare at it in hopes that it would shrink
for you are the language i learned
but can no longer speak
the hiding place where i can no longer sneak
your touch, a warmth i no longer seek
perhaps you were a whole nation
i would go to war
then wouldn't mind losing a limb for
like orpheus to eurydice
i looked back only to
realise that you were no longer mine to see
give me one last memory of you
even if you are no longer my spring
