And then I miss Charlie

Resembling the kite, taken,
snatched by strong winds from above,
sailing the sky,
gone you are…in a blink of an eye…
The empty embrace leaves my body cold and craving for touch,
as if I never held you, as if I never breathed-in your sweet spices breath.

Stars from the heavens, as you call them, call you away from me;
mesmerized and hypnotized, you follow them, leaving me behind and forsaken.

Like the angel-shaped clouds which dissipate in just moments, the memory of us melts like snowflakes, and spills in the hands that were so terrified of letting go …
only seconds ago.

Fear and Pain, like Bonnie and Clyde, robb my heart and my mind, and my kidneys twist like a baby in the womb.
Numb and forced to sleep, involuntarily I bite my lip until it bleeds and swells.

You’re gone again,
like the most delightful dream stolen by the reflection of the morning sun through the curtains…

I miss Charlie!
