To All the Lost Ones

There are some people
that come into your life-
they sing beautiful things in your ear
and take hold of your heart
and find ways to burrow themselves into your skin
and make themselves comfortable

Then they leave
and you can still see the shadows
of where they stood
and hear their whispers in the back of your mind
and see their footprints in the carpet
where they walked
and you just feel a bit colder.

Some may leave and never come back
Some may be long dead
and some may wander back again
but you never stop missing someone you once loved
and once lost.
