Portrait

Before you leave
Before I grieve
Before I kiss you
Before I breathe.

Before an argument
Before we fight
Before we cry
Before the night.

Before her
Before your sigh
Before our family
Before I die.

Before the weak
Before the strong
Before the letters
Before my wrong.

Before my heart
Before your find
Before the curtain
Before my mind.

Before we close
Before the sign
Before the apology
Before the fine.

Before the pain
Before the rain
Before the sun
Before your shame.

Before the remedy
Before my blood
Before the doctor
Before the flood.

Before my bloom
Before the fun
Before everything
Before you there was no one.
