I see you
rolling out of bed
your hair disheveled
that hair once soft against my breast
I see your
muscles tighten and relax
as you walk across the room
those muscles that held me down
I hear
the water running
as you prepare for your day
I lean in the doorway
watching you lather your face
the face that I touched
I watch
the water
run off your chest and arms
as you shower
I heard your heart beating in that chest
as you held me tight in your arms
I feel
you walk by me
your moist body
and the cool air behind you
I reach out
to touch you
and breath deep
your scent
but you don't see me
you don't feel my touch
you're in my mind
I'm not in yours

very visceral

Lovely work, well thought out.

Sweet and sad

It really captures a moment we have all probably felt at one time or another. It is very hard when someone is at the center of your world, and you are not in theirs.

Very beautiful.

The value of cherishing

This made me realise the value of cherishing those people that are in my life now...while it is still with in me to reach out and touch them, before they are gone. You capture the special in the simple and ordinary things, which is what we miss the most when someone is gone. Thank you Rose.

Beautifull

I am no poet, but that is sad and beautifull. REALLY TEARS AT A PERSONS EMOTIONS. GREAT JOB. KEEP WRITTING!

I really like the content of this poem

I'd be tempted to change a few of the line breaks, though.

Add an e to breath deep.
