Yes, You Are Gone

David Field
As though the forest were to whisper,

Your name echoes through the deep expanses of earth,

The name I once wore on my sleeve,

Has vanished like the bottom of a clouded river.

I have wanted to flock to you on many occasions,

But have not found a single truth,

But something about your soul moves me deeply,

And I cry for my long lost love.

I have sweated a thousand rainbows,

Hoping your candles burn in the window still,

But the air is cold and the night is sinister,

And I have found you not.

Why does this pain cut me so deep?

Like a broad tip point lodged in my thoughts,

I have tweezed and tried to remove the illness that is you,

But it is impossible to forget you, and I am bleeding still.

My will to keep searching is dwindling with time,

And I am afraid that my mind will shut you out,

Your face is a vision cloaked by white sheets,

And I miss you.
