Tonight

I almost went beserk

tonight because

you were not here.

I ranted past the midnight hour

and punched

the walls

the walls that held us close

kept us enthralled

in love that decorated

our house

all-fully walled

Where have you gone?

Why do I ask?

Gone, gone to where the midnight seeks

an answer long, long gone

into our past.

I curl my fingers back,

retreat,

take in my impotence,

yet still love lingers.
