Her

Surely my life was run on batteries 

before you

without a natural source of energy and light 

I have kept the sound of you calling my name 

If you love - let her go

to those places within herself 

where she can never take you and where 

you must never ask to go 

no one smiled at me today - they must know she is gone

I did not unite with her

so that she must divide herself

even after I have loved and been loved by others 

I can still hear the sound of her not being here

how empty of me 

to be so full of you
