Sending you crossed kisses and looped hugs Wishing for the longest goodbyes You are just out of my reach The vacuous glow of the monitor captivates me and I forfeit my love to the pixels
How close you seem, until I lay down to rest and your absence becomes known the blankets, thin, like you, but too thin to fill the void The moon is too cold to replace your warmth
The cold reminds me of how much I missed you, I care not to remember.
The bitter taste of tea without you the scent has no senses to tantalize
The study conveys the impression of empty The silence we can't share And the chair in which you might sit is as lonely as ever with no company but dust
The harsh bite of nicotine on my lips reminds me of yours and I long for them. Soft and bitter like the cigarettes you so love And the death I've learned to savor in your wake
Seeing words arranged beautifully remains reminiscent of you And poetry, itself reminds me of your breath.
In the leaves at the bottom of the cup I see the day that we met
and in the sun I am reminded of how fond you were of the dark
and in the ashes of my loneliness I'm reminded of what's to become
