last night i wept
i wept
because the process by which i have become a woman
was painful
i wept
because i was no longer a child
with a childs blind faith
i wept
because my eyes were opened to reality
i wept
because i could not believe anymore
and i love to believe
i can still love passionately without believing
that means I love humanly
i wept
because from now on i will weep less
i wept
because i have lost my pain
and i am not yet accustomed to its absence
