Husk

When I saw your face
I knew.

Your tears gave you away,
telling me silently
that you understood
what I had done to you.

What I had done to us.

I saw in your eyes that
I had done it to us both,
because we were still
one soul, a life.

We had been one.

Now we are you and me,
and soon there will be
just you,
and this empty thing.
