You’re more helpful than you realize.
When you are not here ...Cold as the frostDries as the barkMotionless as the time when you're awayDark as blackImmense as the immensityLost as the last hair that fell outCutting as the reedStraight without the curves of your bodyInfinite as the universe itselfDead as the leaves in autumnSalty as the flow of my tearsImpenetrable, empty, difficult, offSad as some songsThe bed is as lonely as I am.
