Wooden
terms of endearment
fell from your lips
like frozen leaves
shattered
at ground level.
Your monument
finds me in my dreams
and I love you no less
but more.
Around my feet
the roots
of my loss
are bare.
Author notes
I kept reading about forest nymphs and Goddesses but I kept seeing something more real...
