"Nothing Left"
As I sit here in front of my desk
staring at the blinking computer screen
my mind drifts to thoughts of you
as the words come
and my once cold heart
comes to life
My fingers on the keyboard
as the computer screen lights up
the words escape from unknown depths
in the same tiny room
You're gone
and there's nothing left
here for me
except memories of you
in my head
They repeat
like snippets of
a film that I've seen
a million times
but never remembered
The subtle beauty of your face
they way your eyes shone
the curvature of your lips
the soft contours
of your perfect shape
The rain begins to fall quietly
pitter-pattering against the window
as the bright neon signs cast
an eerie glow amidst the darkness
I go to the window
and quietly watch
the spectacle unfold
My heart breaking
more and more
by each passing moment.
