Comments, requests, and general adoration should to go roving_one@hotmail.com Another Second Gone by Suzene Campos I hide my face against the pillow now, unable to comprehend. How can the universe, how can the space between us be as vast or cold as this bed? My body cannot warm it alone, my love. Another second gone Another second gone I girded myself against this blow That I saw coming from so far away I told myself that it must happen But... Your scent still lingers in the sheets Tears lurking, held back, come now I can taste the salt in the wound Another second gone Another second gone I know, my dearest, my all I know. I had no words for you before, There are no words for the bright pain I hold so dear... But I want to try, so very much I'd give my soul for another day An hour... Another second... Gone. Oh, my John...
