I fall for you, endlessly
Each time I catch your fleeting glance.
I care for you, always,
Even as the silence stretches between us.
I wish you well, even as I wither,
Even in the grip of this relentless sickness.
I pray for your safety
Though my world crumbles beneath me.
Time flows like a river, unceasing,
Yet no reply reaches me.
You seem untouched by my care,
Abandoning me in this aching void.
You no longer wish me well,
Though I lie ravaged by illness.
You do not pray for me,
Though I am lost in my darkest hour.
Are you still the one I knew?
No, not anymore.
You have changed,
Yet here I remain, unaltered.
Pray that I too may transform.
How long must I linger in this silence?
I have but one question:
Are you still out there, alive?
You gave up on me so easily,
But I will not surrender.
You are no fool.
And yet, I am a fool,
So foolish it pierces my heart.
