This was the second poem of mine to get published. I wrote this about an old love interest who I had kept in touch with over the years. Every once in a while I'll get a letter from him, it makes me happy to hear how well he is doing. He showed me what is was to be comfortable in your own skin. I will always be thankful to him for that and many other things unspoken of...
There I stand enthralled in your essence
Pasted in your timing
Allowing myself the unveiled caution of sensitivity
You left me with only a memory of your voice
Once strong and filling only now faint and vague
As the days go I picture your smile and every curve of your lip
Weeks leading into months and even years fade along
I only remember the feeling it once gave
I can hardly breathe, this smothering reality has taken it's toll
Letters a distant fluency
The feeling captivating heart covered in dust
Swept away by silence now
