Losing You

I pictured the day I would lose
everything.
The day you would
drown.
When the knot would
untie.
When the rope would
snap.
When your life would slip out of my hands.

Then the day indeed
happened.
The day you had
drowned.
The day the knot had
untied.
The day the rope had
snapped.
The day your place in life had
perished.
When our hands did not meet.
The day I lost you.
