In the empty spaces that surround me
in the silent echos of each day
I miss the sound of breathing from another
the gentle touch of skin against my skin,
the warm caress of your arms wrapped around me
—kindling the passion deep within.
I’ve adapted, seeking to find comfort
in knowing there’s no longer any pain
My prayers aren’t heard, there is no bargain-making,
still, I’d trade my soul to feel you once again.
