I Would Like You To Know

I would like you to know
That you are a beautiful
Tomorrow, I will be gone
And you, a decaying woman
Left with wisdom and wrinkles in her brow
May begin to doubt
Everything
I have whispered in your ear

I know you are beautiful
When my hands, blind, hold you body
When my eyes meet your infinity
I know you are beautiful
When I see you sitting alone
As if just after sex
Away in thought
Holding yourself in your arms

I do not expect you
To understand this
Now
But please, try and remember
That you are beautiful
When I am gone
