Woke up today and I am in love
Flutter lights of dawn like butterflies
seeped through the windows, landed on my hands
Empty hands
Gentle little squeeze of his void overwhelmed my heart, my soul
Caressed the thought of his warm embrace, kisses
of everything amiss, the silence, his emptiness
Gasped for air
My heart, vulnerable again, open again, soft again
My soul, naked again, aware again, alive again
Fully alert of the new sensation,
the quiet intruder
Crawling under my skin like parasites, eat away layer by layer
my control
