Today, I ate numbness for breakfast,the daze digested
inside my stomach.
The blur of sunrise seized me as I wakened
of the melancholia that held me captive in
the crumpled sheets of my now unfamiliar bed.
You are not there
when I looked for that sigh
everytime our gazes met, even furtively.
This longing that haunts
me every single time the long hands tick
on the clock on my pallid wall.
The world is now overcast.
For I missed you like the rivers rushing to meet the waiting sea,
and I missed your shadow that falls on the wooden floor,
the silent breathing of your somnolence,
and the singing crystals that fall from your mouth everytime you speak.
My heart is an uneasy silence- and the world has lost its song,
albeit temporarily,
I will wait and I will wait
until I am back in the tightness of your embrace.
And then the world around me will finally wake up with me
once again.
