Your Pen

Submitted by Alyssa R on Sat, 01/26/2013 - 4:50pm

I haven't had a day for your absence,

not yet.

The vacuum hasn't yet been created.

I'm dreading that space

to miss, to wait, to hope

to drift and fall apart.

But maybe not. Maybe

we'll triumph and self-repair.

Maybe we'll find some perfect way

to step forward. 

Pointless optimism drifts out of me

on this afternoon,

as I sit writing about you, 

for you,

with your pen.
