We were together once

Lost in a tunnel—

In the mysteries of

Our bodies and minds

I found the light

And abandoned you

Left to your own darkness

I felt remorse

Stumbling back into the dark

Feeling walls, clammy

Hearing sounds, haunting echoes

You must have hid

Preferred solitude 

Over mutual demise

I tried to feel you

But could not picture your face

Eclipsed by the torrential sadness

Escaping your eyes.
