Gone

Now that you are gone

There is only an empty field of loneliness here

And the place you inhabited

Now is a yawning void deep inside

But never the less I feel your spirit close to me

I have accepted now

That death comes

But last night I could have sworn

That in the room I smelt your perfume

As well as the presence of you drawing close to me

In the deep and inky silence

I felt surrounded with your love

And when you heard my apology

As tears fell

I knew there was forgiveness there

I like to think that as I feel this latest loss

That you are somewhere not that far

Caring for me

Feeling with me

Never really that far from me

I held such hopes that this was

My one true love

And now the open field of emptiness

I am not sure

How it is I will come to live within it

But this I know I must accept it

What else is there

For me to do

But go on

Now that you have gone?
