Pre-departure Pangs

Memories find a way
to my eyes,
melting and burning
my cheeks.

---

I search your eyes for
comfort
having ignored your
reassuring touch.

---

This morning I was sipping
the horrid quietness of
living without you.

I turn around in bed and
smell you on my pillow,
bedsheets - even my
skin.

All I hear is your voice
bouncing off the walls in my room
and your smile dripping
down my cheeks.

---

We promise each other
so many things
when our promise should've
been
us.
