when i’m without you

those days are here again –

when i’m alone –

clinging to the threads of

my existence,

falling fast!

those days are here again –

when you are gone –

and everywhere i turn,

i find the emptiness,

the lonely shadow.

where are you now –

these sleepless nights,

these lifeless days?

where have you run

to find yourself?

you leave me –

losing mine!

unhinged

you –

clearly defined by lines of

is,

is not –

presumptuous with God-like audacity –

dare try to –

know me –

confine me within the boundaries

of your supposition…

how ignorant,

sad –

to hold in your hand the most important gift –

and let it go…

friendship –

soft as summer rain –

deep as black –

big as sky!

simple as touch,

the acquisition would be –

yet you choose a life of solitude.

empty room –

key-less lock –

what purpose,

a door –

unhinged,

forever closed?
