Driftwood

stiff as a board lying
in the wake of another dream
an imprint of your body fading
from my bed's white shore

"when will you be back?"
the soft breeze gone unanswered
lost to the loneliness of the wind

"i want you to come.."
yet a sudden realization sucked breath
from yearning's end

although death was on your lips last night
i will not forget what we had
