My Cold Lover

Dawn is here again

Seeping its fulgent light into 

this room we once shared

A reminder of what we were 

& could have been only if

You weren't snatched from my hands.

With those cold ugly hands of his

He – without any warning snatched you

I wish you didn't choose that day to leave

I wish we hadn't quarreled before you stumbled out

Leaving me in that room and leaving me lonely now.

There are days I just sink into –

Nanoseconds of despair &

Fragments of torments

I wish I could have you again

Just for a fleeting second.
