A while

With drops on eyelids,

Emptiness in the heart

Nib’s frozen, refused to write

Broken thoughts, ceased to fight

I am sinking deep beneath

You have not spoken a word,

Together we have not walked a mile

It has been a while, a long while

Lost and incomplete

Wrinkled with pain,

Surmounted by sorrow

I have not kissed your forehead

I have not seen your smile

It has been a while, a long while.
