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.

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