places

april.29.2003

the places that I go,
that once I held you near.
they make me feel alone,
my cries you cannot hear.

I walk into the door,
and see you over there.
Your face lights up the room,
these wall around are bare.

but then i blink and see,
the emptiness that's real.
I reach out for the air,
and loneliness I feel.

These places have your scent,
but only in my mind.
These places are so dark,
since you left me behind.
