I can still feel you
in the quiet corridors
of my lonely heart
I search for you in dreams
but love is a blind path
splinters of memories
abandoned here and there
I reach for them to bring them home
but the darkness will never share
they slip imperceptibly away
just echoes of emptiness
weightless and drifting
that magnify my pain
labyrinthine depths of empty
where my doves take flight
and silence is affirmation
