Stumbling along the sidewalk

Day: January 5, 2019

Blink

Blink.

In an instant,

You disappear.

I can still feel

The weight

Of your eyes,

The electricity

Of your fingertips.

The anguish churning

In my stomach

Tells me all is not well

With us.

Promises

Closer, you dare

To touch my hand

With yours.

In a moment,

Our lives pass us by.

We cling to whispers

On lonely nights,

Promises

Never kept.

Yesterday

Flowing like a river

Into each new day.

Holding you for a moment

Seems only yesterday.

Count the times

I said I’m sorry.

Bless me with a smile

When I say that I love you.
