a poem i came across while reading a story, forgot who the author was but you know who ever you are... you have one HELL of a poem, surely you won't mind me posting it:D

tonight i can write the saddest lines
write for example,
'the night is shattered
and the blue stars shiver in the distance.'

tonight i can write the saddest lines,
i loved her
and sometimes she loved me too.

though nights like this one
i held her in my arms.
how could one not have loved her great still eyes.

tonight i can write the saddest lines
to think that i do not have her
to feel that i have lost her

what? does it matter that my love
could not keep her?
the night is shattered
and she is not with me.

this is all. in the distance someone is singing
in the distance my soul is not satisfied
that it has lost her

my sight searched for her as though to go to her
my heart looks for her
and she is not with me

the same night whitenung the same trees
we, of that time
are no longer the same

i no longer love her
that's certain, but how i loved her
my voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing

another's. she will be another's
her voice, her bright body
her infinite eyes

i no longer love her, that's certain
but maybe i love her
love is short,
forgetting is long

because through nights like this one
i held her in my arms
my soul is not satisfied
that it has lost her

though this be the last pain
that she makes me suffer...

...and these the last verse
that i write for her.
