The bedsheets
…still smell of you.
The couch
…hollowed out from your lounging.
The soaps in the bath
…have imprints from your touch.
The glasses on the counter
…still wear your lipstick stains.
The walls
…draped in your handwritten notes
The curtains black and rugs white
…scream of your weird preferences
The heart
…stealthily whispers your name
The brain barely functions
…but will never accept your game
How am I to live a life
…devoid of truth?
When everything else around
…is still alive with pieces of you?
