Gone

by Chloё A. Perez

Faith. I don’t have it.

Is it wrong to cry?

I don’t know how.

Oh how I wish I could. I want to—

Can’t.

Why? You took all my tears away.

Where did you go?

How can she be so at peace?

No tears fall from her eyes when she speaks of you.

I fight back tears for you,

and I don’t even know you.

Who are you? Who were you?

Just a little longer…

I would wait,

I could stay, I want to stay, this will be my patience.

For you.

For us.

Come back my love.

Please.

Come back to me.

I’ll be here.
