Aftermath

Hands that I worshiped in silent reverence Knew my terrain well, not timid in their touch, Now the pitiful moon offers his embrace, But I can't forget those hands I loved so much! When I first saw my reflection in his eyes I had to dive in, just to see where it leads, Now I'm drowning in my tears of loneliness, Panicking like a swimmer enmeshed in weeds Every morning, awakened by his kisses, I struggled to understand how this could be, Was this mine to keep, this heaven I had found? Then hell appeared, answering my inquiry Why did I so foolishly gamble my heart? I was blinded by a prize I could not win! But only after a heart has been shattered Can the light of truth and reason come in Yet, I will never regret having loved him, And I disdain the consequences of wrath, But how do I tolerate this missing him? Lord, give me strength to cope with the aftermath!
