Alice Blue

Missing someone

 

I belonged to you,
Your orbit.
Your shadow, your fingers
That could pull me apart,
That could
Hold me together.
The anger in your voice
That couldn’t quite mask the tremor.

I belonged to you.
Your face.
Your name,
The human side of you
That thrived when the lights
Wore off. When the night was
Still, it was then that
You filled me with your tears.

And your eyes could bleed me dry,
If I slowed enough
To let you catch me.
