My Baby's at the Corner Store

You been gone for a while, 
they start to doubt—
but I know where you at.

In the dead of night
no matter what room 
you occupy, I abide. 

Through all my senses
I feel you all around me. 

Petrifyingly beautiful, 
they begin to leave 
with a misunderstanding.

Baby they think you don't visit me. 
Not knowing you were sitting across 
from us grinning ear to ear.

I choose this early time
as the nightfall is only for me. 

When you come alive.

Your hair is spaced out
curling from the top to the ends,
same as how we embrace.

A hand wraps around my shoulder blade 
and another at the back of my head.

How have I managed to say goodbye?

Destroying every part of me 
only to pick up the pieces 
and make me feel whole.

My sweet illusion.
