"Soon this will come to pass"
She looked at me
Turned, and covered her head
One last glance
And she walked away

Days passed in confusion
No food found to be edible
No water satisfied my thirst
I stood alone
Looking at where she'd stood
Days passed
And I did not know

She came again, briefly
Looked up
Into my eyes
"It is done"
Gone again

Fear gripped me
Shook out my soul
Wrung my stomach
And I just stood there
Alone
Days passed and I did not know
I did not know

Cold now
She stands over me
No tears
Flowers are left
Shortly before her own departure
