I like the way your words taste
not nearly copacetic daffodils
but a boisterous bouquet of
letters tied so neatly
so crisply
that I dare not close my ears
even just for a second
because a time without you in my mind
is one I'd rather leave behind

Disappointment and regret consume me.
All I have left of you now is this photograph.

These words written in lead so light
Will never convey what I feel.

You meant everything to me.
Now that you're gone, so am I.

Every minute that goes by, will never dwindle the way I feel.

Your perfect smile,
your eyes full of adventure.

When you were here, all I had was the promise of seeing you every day.

Now that you're gone, why should I even wake ?

When you were here, the horizon was my universe.

Now that you're gone, I only see in shades of black.
When will I get the life that I deserve back...?

I try my hardest to think not of you..
But you're in everything I do.

Now that you're gone, the only thing I wonder..

will ever get the chance to see you again ?
maybe then I'll be complete once more.

to love a poet
is to admit the world
is tragic
