As the memory of your light fades
my days grow dark.
I stay up at night think of you.
I’m afraid of the shadows
I think is you in the dark.
I’m afraid that you will come back
and then leave again.
I’m afraid that
you will never return to the place
you once were known.
I’m afraid that my next thought
will be of you.
I’m frighten that
I will run out of poems to write
beforeI run out of this pain of absent.
