Cold Dawn Poem by UMBELINA FROTA Linhares Pimenta Bastos

How cold this night makes!
It seems that your absence
Increases the sensation of emptiness
That this dawn brings to me.
Solitude of a life dedicated
To love you, and to adore you.
But in the end I received of you,
Only your absence sharp as a dagger
Stabbing my breast.
Sadness of a bleeding heart
Whose distance only makes
Get worse.
I cry for the end of our love,
That seemed perpetual as
The sun, that every day
Rises in the sky to cheer us.
