After all this time
I close my eyes
Your face
Your eyes
Staring into mine
I hold my breath
I feel so empty
The sadness
Like a slow drip
In a hollow space
The only sound
Filling the void
Sinking
To my knees
No words
As I had been
With you there
The scent of you
Still stirs me
Like no other
Every syllable
Of your name
Rolls
Through me
Like a pulse
I could cry
You gave me time
You waited
I remained
Silent
Hoping
You would see me
Through the lies
I mourn the loss
But you
Are not dead
Yet I feel joy
As I know
You exist
And I grieve
As I cannot
Share
This joy
With you
