When You Walk Away: A Poem

  

What befalls me

when you walk away


Thunder rams

to match

the hammering

of my barren heart


Clouds squeeze out

every last drop

weeping my tears

onto parched earth


Buried seeds sprout

their salvaged shells

My traitor mind

envisions fertile hope


And yet, you

have never returned.
