Absence

By Abyssia

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Your presence took with it a Piece of me, only to replace It with a staggering gravity That weighs down on The wings of the clock - Her ascension plummets And she is reduced to An agonizing crawl. I long for the days when Time Sky-rocketed us through Her storms. The shadow of your absence Looms over my bedroom window. Nights of rest turn into Dawns of madness, For the bed has become Suddenly much too big - I fear it may grow teeth And swallow me whole. Our laughter in the midnight has Left me with a horrible empty ache. Vulture panic tears At the carcass of My stillborn character. You sped by too quickly On the highway of treachery... This hitchhiker awaits the Smell of burnt rubber, and The neon red of brake lights. Your smoke has left me gasping. I ask you just one thing - Let me back in the passenger seat.
