I try not to think about you
but you come into my memories view
and I don’t want to let go
but you’re already gone
I don’t want to think about it too much
I’m scared I won’t make it out alive
but sometimes thats preferable
than this pain inside.
missing
Time is indifferent.
I resent how time
Doesn’t stop
When all should be still
To remember you
I resent how breaths
Can be seen in the cold
Life continuing
As if to be so bold
Like you were never even here
How the wind howls against the windows
As if to threaten to shatter warmth
Even though I’m already cold
As I imagine you are, somewhere out there
Cold, and already so old
As if time hastened its arrival
Letting you go
So chronologically young.
Preserving myself
In amber, I wait
For your return
Preserving myself
So I don’t wither away
As I yearn
Ghosts
A cacophony of laughter fades
Along with the photographs on the page
Turning through time
long flown by
A ghost of a glimmer in her eyes.

Mist
She was missing
And the world didn’t exist
But only in the periphery
Inside an ocean storm
Lightning flickering
A twist of the waves
Set adrift
This lonely of places
And time dismissed
Your feeble heart
Rolling on careless
Into new eras
In which you couldn’t
Be taken apart
Nor fixed
For you no longer
Remain
Lost idly
In the mist.

To be missed
I won’t say a word
Of what passed
Our lips
A secret kiss
Between
The cracks
In the foundations
Of the walls we built
To go AWOL, to go amiss
Only to find we were not missed
Trying to be lonesome wholesome
Putting bitter in our twist
Trying to become misplaced
Only to find it was too late
We’d already been mislaid

Haunting me
I’m frozen
In the presence of your absence
I stand here
In silence
And in
That silence
I don’t
Find peace
Just sadness
In abundance
Wanting
You
My lips
Needing
You
My heart
The silence
A whisper
The atmosphere
You linger
Like a ghost
Haunting
Me
