Shorts

the warmth is
gone
now

the ashes have cooled

i stand among them
wondering

 

I have been dreaming of you lately.

 

It has been keeping me up for days.

 

 

it was nothing but a pleasure
and a privilege:
hearing your footsteps
sound beside mine
for even the shortest while.

The memories we made
still stick to my shoes
like glue.

It seems like only yesterday
that you colored my life
with laughter.

 

 

As the silence dug its toes into the sand,
I had no choice
but to feed it
my heart.
