New

With but a whisper you’re gone

Warm as the bed we lay in

A memory too fresh to be past

Our dreams and wishes slowly fading embers

Where did I lose you

Was losing you a consequence of losing myself

Ephemeral, a comets tail whisper of an almost life

The laughter of children we could have had

Fades

I’m left with a whole self wholly absent from you

I am alive

I have changed

I will thrive
