Collective Grief

I'm a different kind of lonely when you're not here When everything I touch seems to miss you too And we all just sit around in our collective grief Books aren't supposed to miss people My guess is that if books had feelings at all Then really they would just want someone to pick Them up and hold them I can sympathise with books If doors could talk they wouldn't ask where the Hell we'd been when we got home late They'd say that they just want to keep us safe and Maybe try to keep out the cold I wish I was still your door My windows don't miss the times when you'd Stand with one delicate hand on the glass and gaze Outside in some quiet reflection Unaware that I could see your reflection in the glass and was Wondering, Desperately trying to conclude How biology, chemistry and physics Could possibly have combined to create something So terrifyingly beautiful.
