I return to dusk now.

my Orpheus gone

my love all

in shadow.

some cruel Eurydice I have become

stilted, in still air abandoned

amidst a boy’s failed

saviour complex.

mouth bitter from biting tongues

a throat filled with bones

caging words that dare jump

from a wounded heart.

I cannot locate the source

of this ache.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close.”

Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets
