The moment

I thought I might lose you,

I cried for hours,

Never stopping until the sun

Poured life back in the flowers.

The moment

You turned away from me

Something inside went cold,

Not even that same sun could help me,

In no way was I consoled.

The moment

I knew you weren't coming back

I clung to the necklace you gave me

As if it held me afloat

As if my life were attached,

As if it would save me.
