a whisper of our sadness

Between realities 

I dreamt of you

A soft pain

A whisper of our sadness

You begged

Told me to think about you

Your hurt

My transgression

"You promised me"

My love was a weapon

And I stabbed you repeatedly

Deprieved of my own love

I became numb

With a steady ache behind the ribs

A gentle ache

A quiet suffering

I spoke less

Grounded in our sadness
