This empty room without you
18 August 2015

Every time you leave
Eye witnesses eclipses
As sun covers you
Morning birds cry shrill
From sorrow of your absence
As night dies silent
I twirl the needles
Time will hasten by my will
We will meet again
Brief moments through day
Confused storm of the senses
Reliving rapture
I wither in it
This empty room without you
Where our joys burst flames
Should I stop the Sun
Shield the moon from its day wrath
That you may lay here?
Softly soothing talk
Your lips kiss away the pain
“I have never gone!”
Absent no longer
You are now a part of me
I will reach within
