With (You)

eckardcb

 

With—
To be 
Accompanied by 

 

(No one) is 
Without 

 

A companion 
Here, this town is lonely
When you’re not
Around

 

The warm glow of homes
Is buzzing
Neon lights (everywhere)
Announcing, “we are
Open,” just not 
To me.

 

I dread 
Entering the dark
House without you. Here,
The air is stale, hard
To breathe, don’t 
Even want to be.
Where you aren’t.

 

If only I 
Could liquify myself, wet
Ink, and form
The shape of two
Simple words

 

Yes, then I would live
In those words: with you

 

Forever
