Where Are You

I wish I could turn the hour hand back
To the place you held me
Safe in your arms like tower walls
where we shared a horizon,
watched the same night sky
as it dressed itself 
in robes made of waking up to your sunset stars

These days I live upside down
Suffocated by the same faces 
The same four walls and streets howling
Like moon-starved beasts
I wait for you
The cracks getting deeper
The time dragging its feet
Missing you
Needing you
But you're not here
