Night falls
Over the sound of breaking bread
I crawl
Into the silence of my bed
You know
Have I ever told you
How I miss you?
My breath
Carries the weight of every word
You said
Shudders and settles into verse
I rest
Exhaling out the sound
I miss you
Nightfall
Opens the mouth of every ghost
We talk
Under the ivy and the rose
You say
How blessed it is
To be with you
Then your sight
Fades until white is all I see
Sunlight
Wrestles me from my reverie
I cry
I never told you
How I missed you
