absence Feb 8, 2014

 

at the end of the day

 her absence leaves a hole

 in the world we can't account for

the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle

without which the picture

remains incomplete

who would be so foolish

as to let her go without a fight

facing the prospect of an empty space

no one else can feel

are all those foolish has to believe

 our lives are better without her

this the next step if the separation

I did not completely understand

 until the moment passed

the trail of tears

those who miss her most

 left in her wake

an emptiness so complete

we feel little else

Like that of a year ago

now much more remote

as if universe expands

 from The Big bang leaving us

 in the hollowness of her passing

she in her orbit circling in a distance

we could never reach

in a million lifetimes

too many light years to cross

 with no guarantee we will find her there

when we arrive
