there lies in the world
an infinite number of ways
to tell them of your longing
to express the feeling resonating
within your hearts hollow chambers
except when you cannot
when they have moved on
and left you behind
why then
do you continue to think of them
into the hours beyond night
you lie awake
dreaming of all that you were
all that you are
and all that you could have been
while you wait for their return
they are creating new memories
your place filled with another
those chapters in your lives
the pages etched with your memory
torn from their book
and burned
to give space for someone new
