Holding On

It’s gotten to the point
where I’m afraid
to close my eyelids
to sleep.
Your image is there
in a darkened shade
and there
I silently weep.
Gone
My love for you
has never toned down
despite the fact that
you left.
I believe I see your face
all over this town,
that’s the fate
of a man bereft.
But
I wallow within the
shadow of our love
that dusts me
with days gone by.
A lingering dirge
always reminds me of
the what, but no hint
of the why.
Not
Should any of these emotions
plague you,
please know where
our home is.
The locks have not been changed,
it’s true.
My lips hold
a welcome home kiss.
