dear one, dark one

                for Ellie

Dear one, dark one, don’t cry me into escape,
Let me believe I am merely worth to be missed.
Why are you here when I’ve finally filled the gap,
When I've got used to resting in snow and peace?
Why‘re you here like one of my daily dreams –
Daydreams and nightmares… I knew you from toe to head,
Cherished you, loved you, but now–– I feel–– It seems––
You are a stranger, a ghost of a friend I had.
Yeah, I will help you whatever it costs to me.
Yet now I’m helpless, watching the teardrops -
Spots on your collar. First time this year we meet,
First time I see you crying, and please – do not.
