Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
This is all. In the distance someone is singing. In the distance.
Another’s. She will be another’s. Like my kisses before.
I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.

Imagery

To hear the immense night still more immense without her.

My sight searches for her as though to go to her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Figures of Speech

Blue stars shiver in the distance

The night wind revolves in the sky and sings.
My soul is not satisfied that it has lost her.
My heart looks for her, and she is not with me.
My voice tried to find the wind to touch her hearing.
Tone

Saddest lines
Love is so short. Forgetting is so long.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
Conflict

I no longer love her, that's certain, but maybe I love her.

Resolution

and these the last verses that I write for her.
