We shared
in nothing but loss.
Our foundation,
built upon
griefs lament.
Though our hearts
crestfallen,
found Elysium
for a time,
the disquiet
in our minds
continued,
unabated.
Neither, able to share
the discontent within.
Did we ever share
more than our sorrow
or did happiness
find us for a time.
I do not know.
Your love
is gone
and I am
still here,
grieving an effigy
I do not
understand.
