Sleeping where your heart lay
The last night you survived
The ghostly image entombing my mind
Closing my eyes
Did you know what it did to me?
Time passes, adding distance between us
I now walk in an unfamiliar place
I miss seeing your wrinkled face
The smile, plastered there by me
Your scent remains no longer
but the empty air weighs stronger
Standing where you left me behind
I looked into that room you lay
I stood, wept, and relived that night.
