Midnight

I looked for you at midnight...
the streets were cold and snowy and I thought of calling you.
Opened my phone.

Pillows will never be same...
3 foot christmas trees will haunt me...
A white couch will continue to seduce me in my dreams.

I looked for you at dawn...
tried to read a book but couldn't get through a page
without closing my eyes and sighing.

I cannot understand my sorrow...
and I wonder if you could explain it to me.

And

I wonder if you're wondering....

How sad to find each other again
only to dipose of it out of fear.

My dear friend....
put the tree up and
think of me
when it
lights
up.
