Empty

Empty

A Poem by Yas

Darkness...
All I see when you’re not here

 

Choking
No air

I reach…
But
Your
Not
There…

 

Empty bed filled with the essence of you
Sleepless
Nights
Alone…


Peaceful invasion
Turbulent occupancy
Bed now vacant
Longingly lusting
After love laced thoughts

 

Tossing

Turning

Yearning

Mourning

Awaiting a sullen sunrise
Sleepily singing songs of lost love
Mental images of you invading my head

 

I
Inhale
Scents of you
Left in my bed
I reach again….
Your still not there

Like this - can relate to this definitely - boyfriend has buggered off to France; have woken up lots of times over the last week panicking 'cause he's not there when I reach for him. /sigh. Well written, I like your combination of one-word lines with slightly longer ones - it doesn't always work for me, but it does here.
Nice write.
