This Gap

sinisterVT's picture

I fill this Gap with your memory
The little pieces of text I inscribe on the walls of my heart

and the countless days of wondering through the Eden of your skin.

The way my hands and mind get lost as I try to find my way through your eyes.

Your sweet lips

and your smooth cheeks.

I fill this space were your hand belongs

With the idea of my hand ruffling your hair

And your words wrapping around me like a blanket.

I fill in this gap with the idea that I will see you again.
