25 Days

You possess every corner of my memory now
Every hallway is washed in your scent
Have you been here
Or have I projected you
Into all the small, empty places
How small is my world
That you fill it so easily--
How great is your love
That it could so easily fill
The gaps that were once so wide--
I am consumed by your presence, and
In turn, your absence
A void twice as wide as the space you came to fill
But
You have changed these spaces
In the corners you have come to possess
You mingle with the shadows
I see, your broken silhoutte,
Like embers shaken from a fire.
