Dropping You Off

You leave me

Devastated

Speechless

Shell- shocked,

Like the ground on the field of battle

Absorbing what remains.

 

You leave me

In a state

Not unlike

The flight

Of a ladybug-

So swift, leaving you

Wondering

If she had been there at all.

 

You leave me

Mouth agape

Marveling

At the treasure that had been right at my fingertips,

At the sweetness that my tongue could have tasted,

That I could have filled my nose with all of your molecules,

That I could have filled my arms with every part of you,

That your laugh could have warmed my soul for just a little bit longer.
