and clutch empty space
another day like the last
with the same old heartache
months since you left me
each day passes slow
as I wander through hours
with no inner glow
you had brought back something
I forgot I had missed
from that very first moment
that very first kiss
back now where I started
before you were here
no longer to hold me
and cradle me near
like a cancer unfeeling
the wounds are so deep
unable to concentrate
unable to sleep
and the weeks go so slowly
my world at a halt
this coma won't recede
till the questions resolve
so I face new dilemmas
one day at a time
although it was easier
when I thought you were mine
