The Third Letter

Somewhere in the grey and black,
Knowing you're not coming back
All that I'm left to have
Is this empty space
And when something becomes all you have
It becomes something you embrace

And so I long desperately,
Long for it to stay
While my time 
And all the rest of me,
Slowly still efface.



And in my head,
I'm whole again.
I talk to you,
Consoled again.
All my thoughts,
All my mind-
We have conversations all the time.


 
Still, I write the words to you
The words I think you already knew
In another one of my letters.

Letters to you,
Letters from me,
Unanswered yesterday,
Today will be the same.
