TRP - 512 days

  • Apr 13
  • 1 min read

And your bed is still unmade 

The couch memorized your shape

Your perfume hanging in quiet mornings

The shoes waiting by the door


512 days 

An empty chair 

One less plate 

Seven where there used to be eight 

One laugh dissolved in the air

512 days 

The ache hasn't softened

The hug I kept waiting for at graduation finds me in my dreams

Your voice trapped between rings 

A bright smile taped to the lamp shade 


512 days 

Without our walks 

Without your jokes

Without you

With a knot in my throat 

Just like a thick layer of dust covering the little light left


512 nights 

Your absence leaves a trail of blood and tears

Right where the ones 512 days ago spilled.
