Space Between Us

I am consumed
by thoughts of you,
I am left missing you
even before you are gone,
the very thought
of empty space where once
I knew your warmth,
I don't want you to leave
even before you arrive,
there is barely room left
to breathe, I cannot bare
the thought of what
I will do to survive the
the negative space
of your absence
I curl myself into the memories
of you and wait for your return.
