Quit

 

Dear Lucky please forgive me

I left without saying goodbye 

In truth I never did 

You have imprinted so much onto me 

In all that you were and all you would give. 

I miss you in the quietness of night

While the city glows on and sleep evades

I miss you in the pause between the next thing I must do

And the previous thing I can’t do 

Anymore

I miss you more in conversation

In friends for only 5 minutes 

In separation from those 

I can no longer be acquainted with

I miss the way you dance to music 

So silky and slow

independent and unknowing 

of those around

I miss your kiss in utter boredom

And the times you resist the monotony of everyday tasks

How you bask in the in between

I miss the way you allow me to dream

As a split between the seams 

of obligatory servitude

In truth

 I miss how you made me feel cool

Like I was the only one in the world

That deserved your touch and your attention

I miss the way 

I could use you as an intervention

But Now I’m lost

I’m undressed

 With what do I fill the void you’ve left 

And how do I spend these extra breaths

 I’m no longer bereft 

of

why did I stop?

I miss you dear Lucky

Like a friend 

a sweet song

But I’m afraid we had to part 

Dear Lucky

So life can carry on
