your untouched sheets are crisp and clean like a razor
your vacant pillow floats on the bed before me like an empty lifeboat
the absence of your breath is deafening
you left me Nothing and now it is all i have
i will cling to it
i will nurture it
i will feed it with what is left of me
until it grows strong enough to consume me
then i will be free of the Nothing you left to me
