Today Poem by Lindy Jean Kleinhans

By LJK

Today I woke up early
So early it was dark
I felt you next to me
In my heart you left a mark

I went to make some coffee
The flat, it felt so bare
I couldn't help but feel alone
I wished my King was there

I did the washing, -cleaning up
Sang a song or two
But every minute I did all that
I wished I was with you

I looked into the mirror
I felt your hands on me
Around my waist and heart
Around my whole body

I speak to you sometimes
I pray for you allot
Even though my own religion
In time I had forgot

I smell you everywhere
Your scent is on my skin
Theres no amount of scrubbing
Your there., so deep within.

I cook for empty spaces
Theres no one, and not a sound
I pour my heart and soul in you
I am completely bound

I hear your voice and footsteps
They are residual to me
Like hauntings in a home
Forever mine you'll be
