When I see

When I see the moon,
the dark night with stars
I look at the shadows
that the objects casts

I search in those shadows
for anything that bears
slight resemblance to you
resemblance to your mane


Do you know beloved
I have searched in dark
nights and bright moons
for your hair's presence

I have searched in stars
for what looks like you
only to find my heart
with its windows bleeding

In it I seek signs of desire
that were there due to you
yet all I see in the wounds
is sadness driven by absence

Absence of you from me
absence of your shadows
from the walls of this house
absence of you from yourself
