I Will Not Weep

I will not weep for you. Too often did the tears rise and fall like salted hourglasses holding the deluge back. You slipped away quiet, unheard by the clock on the wall and our rainbow world slipped into black. I shall weep again. Memory and heartache go hand in hand and the slightest thing tugs at my heart. You were my everything, my greatest fan yet death's distance draws us apart. I have cried a million tears. Still your face lies clear in my blurred eyes and as I wipe them all away my heart asks and wonders why you could not stay.
