I'm Not Coming

You,
Oh love of my life,
Oh lonely heart beat of stillness,
Your voice spills like warm honey into the darkness,
You whisper my name into the black room as if I will suddenly appear with the light I carry.
But I don't
And the silence curls up around you
You say my name over and over
Pushing back the nothing
Trying to find how many times you have to call to me before I'm there
and you're no longer alone.
But you are alone.
And I'm not coming.

You,
Oh heart breaker,
Oh ruiner of true love,
Oh lonely heart beat of stillness,
You lay there next to someone else begging for me,
I hear your whispers in my dreams.
