Tristesse

from the collapse i gained
which i dont know why and how;
my shrinking entity-
whose lifetime had passed so undearingly-
had lost its prowess

and slowly.. 
almost momentarily like the break of dawn:
i shuddered
tears begun to fall-
pouring swiftly and unreprieving;

though camouflaged by the bath;
a cold and frisky flood..
surely i had known
made i hinder my secrets
and this damp room was my vault...
