In Noce Veritas (There is Truth in Night)

Published September 24, 2007

The truth is this: We are over

Someone else shall follow in my wake

And the time we spent together will be removed to the past.

Yet this truth hurts so much that I feel crushed

To think of you lying in the arms of another

To think of you showing your tenderness to another

Such thoughts destroy me.

Perhaps I felt more than I realized

– Your bed, in which we spent so much time, that is where my mind is always drawn.
There our bodies were always linked as one, it’s where you were mine.
In the darkness of your room I could hold you and caress you-through such tenderness I felt empowered.

Bitterness may now be all that is between us, but still I know that we will both always remember.
– As Time’s winged chariot beats on, my love for you will remain in my memories of these nocturnal meetings.
