unwanted guest

Rate: 1 Flag

~{}~

filled with your absence

the house and I wait

both knowing it is everywhere

 

in the living room it is blocking the telly

and in the bathroom mirror

it is your face not being there

that I see

 

at night I can hear

your absence soundlessly sneaking up the stairs

claiming the bed

and it won’t stay on your half

grabbing all blankets

 

your absence is becoming a frequent guest now

demanding attention

keeping me busy

filling the house

till you come back

~{}~

the presence of absence...hmmm.
Shadow of existence, echo of a voice, ghost of memories.
Very romantic.
