I try to keep our memory vague
on the chance that I’ll find better days.
how can something so resplendent
spoil everything that comes after?
what once made me so happy
now leaves me cold and numb
in the frail suicide hour before dawn.

I like your poem's intensity, but do hope you will bounce back. Find a new love if you must but never allow sorrow to consume you.

I would like to translate this poem
Poetry is a sponge that absorbs pain. Thrives on it. And cures. By taking it away from you. Warmly, Julia.
