Kim V. Poetry

In the darkness
Of the hour,
I succumbed to the
Quiet pain in my heart.

I failed to recognize
My own frailty
And vulnerability.

I didn’t prepare myself
For the heartbreak
Of losing you.

I stole myself away
And hid in the deepest
Recesses of my mind.
Away from the thought
Of losing your touch
You strength
You tenderness.

Alone in the prison
Of my own making,
Unavailable to process
The price of your
Loss,
I weep into my own arms.

I reminisce on the hushed
Words
And long nights.
Kisses in the rain.
And bodies melted
Into one another.

I remember when you
Played with my hair
And told me about all
Of your dreams.
And when you held me
Close and cried
About your pain,
In our secret paradise
Beyond the stars.

I remember whispering
How much I loved you,
When we said goodbye
For the final time.

Kissed away your tears,
Clasped your hand to my heart
And let my soul say
Farewell.

I miss you,
My love,
My Muse,
My twin flame.

Forget me not.
