Gone

By Karani Kelvin.

I see you grope in the dark

Touching
Spaces that once were warm

Clutching
At my retreating shadow
You stretch to cuddle
But there’s emptiness there
No warm breath against
Your neck, no fingers dripping
Desire all over you…
You whisper my name
But even when I was there
I was already gone.
