You leave a space
Beside your name
Where your softest words
Used to be
I bring them here
You turn away
And leave me
Alone with them
With the same lips
That used to say my name
How can you say
Such unfamiliar things?
With lips that once
Would find my skin
You make a stranger
Out of me
Your fingers
At your side
And before you say
A word
Why do you look at me
That way?
While I hold
This trembling line
Look at me
Close enough
For me to touch
But this time
I cannot cross it
Even if
My bones burn
Don't look away
Until the end
If I have to
Watch you leave
Let me see
Your face
Was there a morning
When you were sure?
A page you meant
To keep for us?
Your coat
Still hanging
By the door
I search the spaces
Between your words
For somewhere
I can lay this pain
You move
As if to close the distance
I take a breath
You stay
Right where you are
If you take
One more step
The words I've held inside
Will slip away
While I hold
This trembling line
Look at me
Close enough
For me to touch
But I cannot
Cross it
Even if
My bones burn
Don't look away
Until the end
If I have to
Watch you leave
Let me see
Your face
For a moment
I forget
Every word
You made me hear
And the distance
Disappears
I can't breathe
Could I stay
A little longer?
There is nowhere left
To hide
Look at me
I can feel you
Leaving me
Again
As I watch you
Walk away
I'll stay here
But
Let me see
Your face
Until the darkness
Takes you
Again
