A picture a thousand words won’t make 2014

  

Night time passed

Once more without you,

One of a thousand

Or tens of thousands

I will pine about

Making shapes of you

In the dark

Like a child makes

Pictures with crayons

Unsubstantial

As compared

To the reality we once knew,

A vacancy I still

Cannot fill,

A picture

A thousand words

Do not make

When we’ve forsaken words

There is nothing to bring back

Nights as they once were,

Merely the memory of them,

With each new night

And its recollection

Making those memories fade

Leaving us with a thin outline

We need to refill

With things

Other than what once was
