A Promise

I sat immersed in thought, eyes fixated on the ground not saying a word.
The ache of my smothered tears wept from all my walls.
Heavy sorrow draped all over my shoulders
A burden unsurpassed

Everything seemed strange
Unrecognisable
My blinds were down all the way

I wanted to run to the coat
Embrace it
A sleeve hung from the shoulder
Full and round,
The end of the sleeve was empty but I swear I can still see her in it

The circles around my eyes
Hung there like ripples in a pond
and the weeping intensified

I wanted more than anything to look into your blue eyes
Just one more time
To see the identical shadow between your lower lip and chin

But the melancholy lingered in the room
as though the pains were here to stay for eternity

I promise, I'll wait for you.
