3: Lament

It's the sound of dextrose
that fills the empty void.
Is it my heart or
the internal silence?

The sound of my heartbeat
Echoes like a static
That I've long memorized
For a century.

Winter never ends, but
you brought spring to me.
Your smile is warmer than
a summertime's kiss.

Like in a bus stop, I wait.
But you are the bus that
never comes because
I was already too late.
