'Broken'                        timothyrgates, 3/28/2016
You're gone.
They say you're in a better place.
Easy for them to say.
When losing a lover in time
Or, loved person to time
We ache, broken.
Our hearts break
Not a dissected body, soul
Our bones hurt,
Like when having the flu
Our bodies, our minds, our souls
Weep into nothing -
Not unlike when entwined,
Amorous intoxication, writhing
Lost to each other
Your breath, "Love."
Lover's lost in time
Loved person lost to time,
I smile.
Sometimes one tear joins in
Most times cheeks remain dry
(I laugh out loud, at some moments.
confusing anyone catching a glimpse.),
In awe
Celestial, terrestrial universes understand,
In a better place,
I smile.
