The Familiarity Of You Poem by Airohng Liebe

I roam through these halls
Recognizing every single visage,
But holding them as strangers.

Who knew that everything could change
So sudden, so drastically,
In one blink of an eye?

I dare not think
What two blinks of an eye would bring
If one brought sudden catastrophe.

I go all day through as a stranger,
Searching for the familiar territory of you,
But you're nowhere to be found.

Have I lost you?
Have you left me here,
Defenseles and afraid?

I roam through these halls
Recognizing every single visage,
But holding them as strangers.

Yours is the only face I want to see.
