Nothing, Your elusive presence

still haunts the persistent silence.

Nothing. Your boyish smile of old

still dances wrapped in memories.

Nothing. Your voice of soft tones

still echoes in the growing distance.

Nothing. Your body of graceful lines

still rests nearby in a time long lost.

Nothing, nothing, just faded hours,

just broken crystals, just empty rooms,

just silence broken by droplets of blood

dripping slowly from a grieving heart.
