Untitled

Quod arcanum mulier

Did you know

How much

I loved you?

Did you know

I could not look

At you - Without

A smile blooming

Onto my face

With the force

Of a dozen fish

In the sea?

Did you know

When you died

The world fell

From underneath

My leaden feet?

The sobs

Tumbled from my

Crooked lips

And sunk down

Into the dirt

Along with 

Your sweet corpse?

I could not write

My hands stiffened

And became

Thick witted

With morosity?

I could not find

Myself

Even though

I took lanterns

And went searching

Though you

Lie dormant

In your

Alabaster Chamber

Do not know 

I love you,

Emily
