Him.

The sun slides slowly along the wall and I see

A new day dawning, drawn through my open window

Painting a picture yet to be viewed by my eyes

On the walls where ‘our’ pictures used to

Grace the world with a vicious vanity

The blankets stir as, in your sleep

You dream dreams that seem to me

Eternity, I see

The sun streak has moved, though I did not see

Its course in its slow trajectory creep

The smooth, rich comfort it brings to me

Runs over my skin like a velvet glove

Into my ears like a symphony, the sound sings

Sleepy whispers when the morning chill kisses me

Then warmth caresses me, a feeling I have not yet known

The sun slides slowly along the wall

Its time in the sky nears the end as I watch

Through the sheer drapes I hung once upon a time

The shadows elongate, I sigh and take refuge

Into the soft silk of your neck, nestled in your bedsheets

...

You open your eyes and

I lose myself for the millionth time
