The warmth has died, but still it clings.
This breath, this scent, familiar things.
A ghost upon the evening air.
A whisper of a life which is no longer there.
The night remembers more than me.
The life I lost, the self I used to be.
The silence aches. The shadows crawl.
Each summer dusk, I feel it all.
And in this air, so soft, so wide,
I meet the parts of me that died.
