I reach for your hand, open air meets my hand.
I look for your smile but see an empty space.
My words flow into emptiness.
My tears fall on my own fingers.
My pillow is my shoulder to cry on.
I stretch for your embrace and fall into nothing.
I search for your loving eyes, finding darkness.
My words fall unheard.
My tears trickle untouched.
My walls are my listening ears.
I touch the place where you should be.
I gaze into the ghost of your presence.
My words echo silently.
My tears go unnoticed.
My blanket is my warm embrace.
I caress a cold pillow where a head might lay.
I stare into black and blurry nights.
My words die in my throat.
My tears pool carelessly.
My bible is my own rock.
I feel only my own worries surrounding.
I peer into my imaginings of you.
My words retreat into my heart.
My tears stain my face.
Silence is my comfort.
I stroke your cheek in my mind.
I watch my sanity and strength wane.
My words refuse to awaken.
My tears refuse to flow
Solitude is my friend
I let my hands rest at my sides.
I peer into the void of my heart.
My words are not there.
My tears don’t exist.
Nothingness is my lover.
My body doesn’t move.
My eyes shut tight.
I let the words erase.
I no longer feel the tears.
Nothing, numb... peace.
Acceptance
The poem is realy good, my attention was realy caught by your words. Your acceptance at the loss of a departed lover, is described wonderfully. Glad you found peace.
