It was the same place
The world disappeared behind his gaze.
All of a sudden,
Time froze,
Love turned to water
In the garden of Eden,
Eve lost her Adam
And God hid himself from her.
Her prayers became the forbidden fruit that she must swallow.
It was an empty, formless universe.
They were separated by that desolate, unspeakable nothingness
The winds wept as the mountains moved away,
Unwilling to hear the tales of tragedy
That so often defined the existence of (wo)men
Memories crystallised into a string of teardrops
Blazing across the night sky.
His absolute silence and placid touch
When she tries to hold his hand
Speak the estranged language of togetherness.
His wandering heart leaves her wondering
Why her world is covered with yellow wallpaper still.
Yet at every point of origin their shadows meet.
She looks into the broken mirror
And sees him there,
And he still calls her by her name.
She knows she cannot give voice
To melancholic passions that yearn for him anymore.
Every wing of love and freedom is destined somewhere;
To love him is to let him go free
And watch him disappear in the crowds
Into the horizon where water turns to clouds.
She continues to dwell in the old place of misty icy daggers
His countenance she can no longer behold.
