Presence in Absence
You are an omnipresent cold embrace
That keeps me shivering
Through the empty nights
You are the dawn of day
And the moon, that blinds me
And keeps me awake
You are a ceaseless string of memories
In my lucid dreams; and
The jolt of somnambulism
You are a sinking ship
That drowns me slowly
Whenever I close my eyes
You leave me wandering
Flitting on sidewalks,
Seeing through clouded eyes
You are a facade of beauty
But a whirl of sleepless nights; and
Drowsy days
You are an insomniac piece of me
And I feel you when the sky is crippling
Into fragments of oblivion
I feel you when
The ghostly darkness
Has engulfed my bones and pinched my skin.
I feel you when
I cannot feel anything
And I understand that there is presence in absence.
