The Presence of Lonliness

Fri, 02/19/2016 - 19:39 -- Breed

You are within me
And though you're gone you linger
Through the empty spaces
Caress the tips of my fingers
With a ghostlike motion
So I know here it is
Though I couldn't be sure
And though I shouldn't be saddened
Even with time to be me
All I wanted was you
As if inevitably
We're to be pulled together
Forces at work without we'd fail to exist
Love goes deeper than a kiss
And happiness
Not always bliss but alone is scourged
And as an only half a smile is forged
You are the core
What keeps me solid even rich when I'm poor
An everlasting sense of allure
I'm in the sewer
And as it goes this time is borrowed
I know that you already felt my sorrow
Indefinitely tomorrow
