On Waking Without You

I wake to walls.
No feet running, no kettle hissing.

Only the tap of a message not sent.

If I had written to you earlier,
perhaps the morning would feel less like an ending
and more like something possible.

Instead,
I scroll past lives I do not live.

And tell myself:
Next sunrise, maybe.
