He left me mid encounter sitting on the floor there to ponder.
The world I sat upon kept rotating around the sun.
The mothers in labor couldn't hold back the birth.
The clouds kept moving, and the stars reeled overhead.
I couldn’t stop his motion, couldn’t stop the tear I shed.
The grass rose higher and the tree grew wider.
I hadn’t the power to hold him back with the ounce of love I had given.
He kept moving and I, well I kept living.
Motionless, but still breathing.
