My One True Love

He was my one true Love —
No other soul could bear —
The gravity of Silence —
That drew us — everywhere —

Which ever One departed —
The other would not stay —
For threads — of such a fiber —
Unravel — when away —

The Morning knew our Secret —
The Stars — were confidants —
The Sparrow in the Hedgerow —
Would echo — our response —

And should he leave before me —
My Breath would fold in twain —
The Pulse — would follow after —
As the moisture — after Rain —
