Hollow Hushed Heart

*****************
Shadows shiver with the shape of you.
Your ghost-warm whisper cuts straight through.
Memory is a moribund mirror, cracked and cold.
My heart holds your hollow hush, uncontrolled.
Night gnaws softly on what we used to be.
And silence bleeds your absence back into me.
