An Abscessing Absence.

Something is different, her smile is rare,

What I give to see it upon a face so fair,

She cries at night, she doesn’t know I hear,

I wish I knew what she may fear.

-

It festers at me, I know it’s my doing,

Of anyone else, I bring all ruin,

She no longer sleeps through the night,

She leaves the bed to stand outside.

-

Fathoms deep in her own head,

I hear her speak softly, her words lessened,

If at all she speaks at first,

I wait upon each God **** word.

-

The fire in her eyes has been quenched to me,

The tragic loss to beautiful artistry,

For them I’ve doted upon very cold nights,

A shell of what she was, my own soul I fight.

-

We used to walk about the streets,

The empty boulevard and speak of dreams,

We have since stopped, she has no time,

I understand, disturbed she is of this heart of mine.
