Because of You

Because you are sitting on an empty bench in the gathering dusk by the lakeside crying, I am standing behind you and crying, becoming a lonely shadow of yours. Because you are wandering in a darkening wilderness with fear I am following you becoming dim starlight. Because you are walking in the dismal ruins, as if going the path between tomb stones in the graveyard longing for someone unforgettable, I am circling around you drifting on a chaotic wind. When you were agonizing in a bad dream sweating I held your hands and agonized in the same horrible dream sweating. When you were no longer able to bear that harsh nightmare you stretched your arms struggling to escape, inevitably, I loosen my hands and let your hands go. When you awoke from the bad dream and stared at me with your eyes colder than ice, darker than the bottomless pit, I had no choice but to leave you with tears in my eyes.
