Today, the stones on the outer field cast no shadows
birds don’t sing
and the wind doesn’t blow through grey oaks crowns.

Today, is full of melancholy
that I can’t shake off a sense of futility,
she rang and told me that she doesn’t love me anymore.

Today, my heart is full of sorrow
wishes the impossible
that she will relent
come back
and unburden this my longest day.

Today, this afternoon,
the sun warmed my face,
whispered her name a hundred times
and know that love will come my way again.
