Cheek and Charm

A month without you It hardly seems true The days they just drag Like some lingering flu I miss all those chats With the cheek and the charm I wonder if, maybe Would a call be no harm? I reel myself in No of course, that's not fair Reminding I'm here And you're way over there Nonetheless, it's not pretty This dark empty space The void here inside Well, it feels out of place So a poem of solace I thoughtfully muse Where it's only cathartic Unlikely to bruise In the meantime I send All the love I can muster If you have a new friend Just be sure you can trust her I'm not bitter, just achey So I'll sign off for now I just hope that you're happy And that one day, somehow We can grab an oat latte Catch-up on old times Laugh like we used to Punching out these odd rhymes CV 25.1.24
