Lost. Start anew,
He took his shoes, cologne & time
Left the routine
Each morning I look
For the kisses and secret hugs
Wait for him to role over and tell me I’m loved.

Evenings aimless I walk
Around my house
Streets and stores
We use to do this
Stories we shared with giggles and grins
You always worried
I was getting far too thin
I worried you would leave and
You did.

You worried I’d hate you
Which I guess I will.
We left our life together
All but memories remain
Except the past routine
Drumming in my brain.
Still lost, starting anew.
