There are shadows
of you
in this empty room - places
your fingers have
touched and moments
you've breathed
that we can't take back
and I wouldn't
want to, anyway.
Everywhere I find
little pieces of
your life
left as souvenirs
of this brief
togetherness.
Your voice echoes in my
loneliness.
Please come back
and make this house
a home again.

Good job
Nikki,
I really like this poem. Especially:
"Everywhere I find
little pieces of
your life
left as souvenirs
of this brief
togetherness."
Because that's really what it's like when someone isn't there.
"Your voice echoes in my
loneliness."
--that was my favorite line. :)

beautiful and sad
Hi! This piece really spoke to me. So sad and beautiful at the same time, and it speaks to love lost on so many levels. Thank you
