not what it seems

dedicated to a friend



In the early morning darkness,
before night’s tide has ebbed,
I lie awake watching the ceiling
above your empty pillow.

I watch the rising sun chase
the shadows from the room
but your empty pillow
casts its shadow in my heart.

Without regrets we parted
in the face of life’s tyranny
yet every new dawning
brings this regret to me:

That I should have out lived
our loving, to rise in the dark
alone, living out my life
in your pillow’s empty shade.

You've conveyed the sentiment behind this poem, very well, indeed. Good imagery -- palpable human loneliness.

Carmen :-)

So very touching, emotional... I feel spent and lost to your intensity. Marvelous writing.
