Tears

[Guest guest]

I am sick today,

but I won't

even for an instant

let my weakness

steal the beauty

of this moment

with you.

My every breath

becomes a prayer,

Each heartbeat,

a mantra of longing

for your gentle touch.

One eye must

shed tears of gratitude

while the other,

tears of sorrow

for those who've

yet to love.
