Without You Poem by Fernando Alvarez

Without You



Without you
I become a two month fetus in a bleeding womb;
A hundred year old gasping his last breath;
An animal tied to the tracks when the trains come.

Without you
I become a newborn child with no breath of life;
A caterpillar being devoured by a crow;
A spilled glass of water on a sheet of ice.

How can I embroider my silver threads
Into the fragile, delicately woven fabric
Of your spirit, so that you truly comprehend
How deeply I love you?

I will always love you, always.
Without you, I fill with terror;
Without you, I fade into night;
Without you, loneliness eats me alive, bite by bite.
