he wanted her to last forever
so he carved her likeness
in alabaster stone
he placed it in the garden
so the sunlight would always
shine upon her face
but soon he realized
that stone could never
wave at him or whisper
sweet nothings under
a full moon
he was still as empty as
he was when she left him
long ago
