one year today part 2
one year today part 2. just a personal note to my old buddy. just to let him know he will never really disappear.
watch the place
like you weren’t really leaving
only to see
the emptiness in the space
where before
you were.
as you leave
i wish I could understand
what you tried to say
the day before
about the capacity of caring
for in that moment
only the memory of shallowness stares
into the emptiness
left behind
with all that’s been left unsaid.
oh, in your absence
i am not sure where
to begin
again
so please don’t take
my one companion away
for
in the space left behind
i have glimpsed the beautiful heartache
and have foreseen the fragileness
that follows
, therefore,
I wish time could have waited
one more day.
so, in your absence,
i imagine salvation
lies somewhere within your devotion
as my friend alice
once said
“some things get lost
and some things disappear
but my love for you
will always be here.”
yet, I fear
without you near
you won’t be able to hear
me say
“you will never disappear
from me.”
