Absence

Emptiness in the Wind

An emptiness in the wind calls to me,
in the same way you once did,
with your hollow words, that swallowed me whole,
in those nights I cannot but
remember,
the cold that I felt,
leaving my soul,
as the warmth entered.
with that hope,
of the past,
that I could not have seen,
and yet I looked upon
your withered memory,
as much fiction as much true,
and seen that I could never remember to be you,
for I am myself,
and always will be.
