Absence

Every day I'm born anew

and still I choose to spend it in you.

 

Each night I die, a slow, laborious death with nothing to hope for when there's no hope in your breath.

 

Each morning I rise with ambitions for the day, but your lips were far better than this coffee cup's clay,

 

and so I live to die again in the blue remembrance of this pen.
