This Empty Space

I stare. I blink. I stare again. I blink again.
Fighting off the tears is hard
The harder I fight, the harder they sting
As they struggle to free themselves.

I was getting used to the idea
Of loving you
But now I am trying
Trying to harvest
Harvest beautiful memories
Memories from the edges
Edges of something
Something we never became.

The pain creeps up on me
At the most unlikely of times
It can hit me at 3 O’clock
In the middle of a hearty laugh
Like a ghost it hovers around
And purposefully ruins my days.

My life was a dark shadow
Until you came and illuminated it
I thought it would last
But the light doesn’t flicker anymore
It is hidden under a bushel –
Another man’s bushel.

Now there is a storm raging
Raging in my heart
A heart that is hurting
Hurting because it was hurt

So now I stare. And I blink. And then stare again
Into this empty space –
A space that you used to occupy.
