A sunflower that blooms without the sun A silhouette that lingers along the walls Without a figure, eavesdropping, wanting for more A sense of taste without bitterness, sweetness nor contentment A presence that stood still amongst the crowd A lost soul forgotten by the bus Another day, sulking in resentment A scent that was never there, just a person with a lonely heart Waiting for comfort, until the day, they finally fall apart A smile left hanging by a thread A goodbye less, a long lost hug from a friend Another half to fill the empty space between two arms Fingertips that caress unmended scars Faded, torn, unintended, absent, belittled, irrelevant Another breathing human less Another life, crushed and torn into shreds
