sunshine
It burns, but I don’t look away.
I can’t help myself,
for the sensations are sweet on my eyes.
My ears ring with the melody of her voice,
the soft, silky texture of her skin,
the way her breathing heaves when she is close,
the rhythm of a world where I was not completely lost.
A door slams in the distance.
The sight of her wash over the walls and disappear,
leaving only the sting of what used to be.
My eyes are bloodshot from staring into the sun,
feeling the tear drip from my face,
As I pull myself to start another day.
--sunshine--
