Adieu, I hear her whispering
A bitter sigh upon her lips
Her body’s ache is audible
Her pain shimmers before my eyes
Her face is blank with resistance
Yet I see her grim turmoil as
It wreaks havoc – beneath her brow
Lurks her mind’s unrelenting ghost
I want to touch her, and to kiss
Away those fears, that lonely haze
But her voice is cold: she retreats
Further still behind gloomy walls
The fiercer that my siege becomes
As I attempt to rescue her
The stronger her stony visage
Repels me from her secret heart
Until I’m the one who does sigh
As I fall, spent from my failure
The battle is lost, the end nigh
And to you, I lament – Adieu
Photographer: Robert Doisneau
There are just so many moments it applies to.
You’ve brilliantly captured the emotion in such simple yet complex thoughts.
