Poetry: Missing a loved one

by Bella Valentin

Created on: February 24, 2010

The Tenant

Your spirit is alive in my body
I can feel you are watching me
In every breath I smell you

I hear your footstep
I spin around but you are not there
My mind keeps conversations with you

I feel the touch of your hands
Shiver from your whispering words
My chin still blushing from your kiss

I see you in the corner
A shadow soon to disappear
Emptiness surrounds me

I live on my own
Still you live here with me
Forever the tenant of my heart
