Can you?

my coffee

I sit in my room

and talk to you

but you're not here.

Can you hear me

when I cry for you?

When I talk to you

about all the

good and bad?

When I crave and miss you?

If I scream loud enough

could my voice

ignite something

in your bones

to let you know

you are needed

wanted

and loved?

If I cry long enough

do my tears

appear

as dew

upon your grass?

Author's Note

Tell me what you think, I really like the last question. I think there is something beautiful with the tears as dew. Thanks!

I agree that there is something beautiful in seeing tears as dew. Infact I think there is much more to it than just a similar image, instead there is much imagery that could be applied to it.

The use of the words ignite and bones in such close proximity is effective; especially since bones take such a long time to decompose unless burned.
And asking questions always pushes the reader to think!

Good work
