Poem: Not You

The sun shines though
The clouds are escaping
You are not here
As I lay thinking

The perfume I smell
Is now wet earth
Damp with morning dew
Everything looks fresh

A faint sound far
A lonely bird chirping
This silence is more than
Talk of matters exciting

Nothing to do today
No one to be but me
Failing to be perfect
For you now I'm free
