Four corners
hold a bike
with flat tires
and
a couch
made for two –
the drop of a sigh
is
deafening

In this darkness,
you glow –
one trace
at a time
❤️

Alone in this space
coffee sits untouched
It’s simple,
nothing is the same
without
you

Emptiness
is
me without
you

Look beyond yourself
and kiss sweetness
into each breath
of the one
you love

Why did you let go
of my hand
and
release me to a darkness
that would fill me
again
and
again?
How could you not notice
that I no longer was yours?
I now belonged to
emptiness
as fear
was replaced with
numb

It’s a shame
how you control
the ground beneath me
with a simple word
or lack of –
how can I stand
when all is unsteady
and
cracked

Softly
you say hello,
reminding that
whispers
can soothe
on a winter day
❤️
