absence

Life. We mourn.

Life.

A catalyst for loss.

All said

We’re trinkets of absences

Trying to remember

Those we mourn

Your absence rings
In my ears
As if
Every voice
Not yours
Is a gunshot
Reverberating
In my skull

Your absence lingers
In every musical interval
As if
Every note
Sustains your existence
Behind my eyes

Yet my mind’s eye
Continues to blur you
As if you’re fading, still
Not quite a ghost, but not quite true
A shadow
I must hold onto.

As they bring you in
Tears will flow eternal

And vague regrets
Will invade our skin

And you will not be there
To tame the itch

Candles will be lit
Tempting us to embrace

The quiet
of your absence

Curtains drawn
Darkness
Enchanting ghosts
Of kisses past
From a love
Not built to last

Falling into
Idleness
Feeble hearts
Dressed in blue
Waiting for
Breath renewed
With
Butterflies
In stomachs
Approaching
Absence

Absence crystallized
In calm oceans
While you froth grievous
Inside
