Touched Once

I remember 
that 
pretty little boy
He asked me,
”Which country are you from?”
A very difficult question 
to 
try the answer, indeed.
I could not tell that  
I forgot, 
Yet, I was looking for a synonym.
Truth 
comes In many 
intertwined words, 
Tears in parallel lives.
I saw an artist once, burdened with sorrow.
He 
Asked me,
”Does this mean anything to you, at all?”
A very serious 
afterthought 
For life under a twilight sky.
I could not answer as I do not know. 
Perhaps the other side of beauty
lies 
In tears of passion, 
touched once, still left behind.
