Hello, My Darling

I don’t know how, I don’t want to 

Every breath is a curse of fervent summers 

Cold tea fails to reawaken, 

what is now an abyss of blossoms. 

Dead hope lingers, 

mimicking the scent of black coats. 

Disbelief as strong as your hold in stormy weather, 

I cannot let go, tear a part of myself. 

Silenced music, the door to your whisper 

Blurring reality, a portal to those eyes 

Failing attention, an opening to that touch 

Subtle consciousness, the gateway to your love. 

Liquid trickled out that fallen glass 

Mortal encompassed vessel of ghostly grieving 

Living stopped with lightning retreat 

Surely, you can see, I was always meant to be. 

I trail behind, a few steps lost, 

And tumble down into your arms so sculpted 

As to catch this cowardly love. 

Hello my darling, I have missed you.
