It’s been a while
since I saw your smile
seeming to approve
as I pretended it was you
inside
I miss that pleasure, gone now
since those brief clarifying words
your once hungry eyes
now whisper hinted cries
from dejection’s pit
satisfaction morphed to darkness
famished shadows have replaced
passionate sparkles in your gaze
I still, just now, found pleasure
finalized desires for you
(as always)
Sad, though, that your face
can no longer grace
those moaning moments
Under your image
I would shower tears instead
Yes, I miss the pleasure of your visage
In new ways now.
I miss believing that your lips
might part for mine
Someday
