I

What is love, if not

suffering in beauty‘s mask?

Only time reveals.

II

Once, I dreamed in white.

Love and laughter, Flowers tossed.

Forever was ours.

III

That dream bled to black,

Mascara tears traced their paths.

Ashes in the veil.

IV

Life without your touch

crashes through me, wave on wave,

from a fractured sea.

V

What is love, if not

death silently waiting to

finally show its face?
