You're gone
I wait upon the threshold, bare,
A hollow silence chills the air,
I call your name, but none reply,
Only my echoes, and they die.
Yet I linger, lost, sorrow on,
Yearning for a voice, long gone.
Hearing phantom calls everywhere,
You’re not there.
I remember when I held you near,
Your presence lingers, ghostly, clear,
I reach into the empty sphere,
As if you will embrace me here.
I hug and hold you tight with care,
But I only feel the cold air,
You’re not there.
A part of me believes you breathe,
Your milky scent drifts underneath.
I feel your softness, warm, distilled.
I see your eyes, blessing me still.
Though what's unreal is your stare,
You’re not there.
I dream, I weave our lives as one,
Together still, though it’s done,
In my mind, it’s you, always fair,
But none of this survival, I am aware,
You’re not there.
My future, past, vast, unfurled,
My everything, really, my entire world.
In the end, though all I could care,
You’re not there.
Even the brightest dreams descend
And you, perfection, came to an end.
You’re not there.
Nothing can compensate despair.
You’re not there.
You’re gone.
Rest in peace, baby. Whenever I look into the sky, I see you, the brightest star. I miss you, and I’ll always love you.
