Remains...
The sun blazed through my window
This morning
At about a quarter to seven
I awoke from my memories
Of the night before
Somewhere between heaven and heaven
Sleepy eyed
I find our daughter
Still fast asleep and doing just fine
I take this chance
To venture into the living room
Where I find your glass nestled next to mine
It has been idling over night
Wondering
What it should do
But like our lives
It waits patiently for the next time
So is the love between me and you
Reminders of you
Lay scattered
Trying to hold on to everything gone past
I echoe their feelings
And delay tidying up
Wanting everything to last
I want them to stay there
I want your presence to busy itself
In our lives for as long as time will buy
I wonder if it is just me
And my inability
To wave last night goodbye
So I rest amongst them
With my fresh morning coffee
Bringing my sleepy eyes to a careful view
Looking around and at myself
There isn't apart of me
That's not there with you...
