Empty Air

by Johann - Aries

Empty air;
no molecule of your sweet breath falls rain
to drench my parched lips.
Gone;
hangs heavy; your absence;
it’s dent in me bewildering;
leant to your shape. 
Displaced air
parted to let you in
swaddled your form.
Gone;
and now remains
diffuse space; unoccupied.
Dies to dust specks of lust
musky scents;
tenant ghosts of hopeless words
eaten mysteriously.

But I love you fiercely enough
to keep this pain to myself
and politely hope that you’re well.
