And You Were Gone
Play with my hair
Your fingers
Twirling near the nape
of my neck
Wait!
You can’t be gone
There was the light
and dark
and days of nightmares
nightmares where you were somewhere
somewhere just outside
my reach
almost touching
and then I wake
Play with my hair
You can’t be gone
swirling froth
sweet syrup
its too early for this
you always said that
coffee in hand
rain on the windshield
darkness and fog
hugging the corners
of our vision
no light, no sound
just
coffee in hand
just
rain on the windshield
wait!
just wait!
it’s too early for this
it’s just rain on my cheeks
rain on the windshield
Your fingers
Twirling near the nape
of my neck
Play with my hair
You can’t be gone
