Click hereMy best friend
has gone away
my political foil went with him
my fellow adventurer
doesn’t go beyond the driveway now
my game mate doesn’t remember the rules
the man who taught me to love jazz
doesn’t hear the music now
the man who shared everything with me
shares nothing now
The father of my children
has gone away
doesn’t celebrate their success
doesn’t take credit for the way they’ve gone forth
with love, with wisdom, with honor
doesn’t know his grandchildren
doesn’t care
My lover
has gone away
How do I fill the emptiness
without a chest to rest my weary head against
without the soft rise and fall of his breaths
without a heartbeat to match mine to
with no one to dry my tears
with no one to stoke the embers in my belly
and no one to quench the fire after
with lips, with fingers, with tongue, with cock
my fingers don’t fill that emptiness
don’t work the magic that his tongue used to
I’ve been left with a loveless viagra’d phantom
Like the person who sits on my couch
who sleeps in my bed
who eats the food I place before him
or not
who speaks in riddles
who angers because I cannot understand
this stranger who looks like
my best friend, my lover
gone away
That is just amazing. I've known someone for whom your words are true, but thankfully I've not faced it myself. I'm truly sorry for your loss, but thankful for your eloquence.
for his mate to bear the forgotten vows. TK U MLJ LV NV
that dies before the relationship is over and yet perseveres loveless
Beautiful and tragic.
I can actually completely relate to this....sadly.
Thanks for such an honest poem about a real but sad truth that can befall us.
