Crazy
I miss the aroma of the coffee,
abandoned.
I miss your voice, and the way our hugs
always lasted a liftime.
Shadows lurking beneath the
margins of my door.
I see things. I hear things.
Silence is where imagination lies.
It is what makes your heart race.
The things I see,
they creep around the halls,
waiting for me to close my eyes,
im scared!
Sight and sound have a way of
making you feel afraid of
nothing.
I finally shut my eyes.
Hoping that the nightmares I get when
you are gone won't come tonight.
Hoping for a sweet dream - of you.
I awaken to what I thought was the
sound of your footsteps,
but were only my ears playing tricks on me.
Yet again they decevie me.
I ask myself:
Were you even here to begin wiht?
Or along with the sounds and the shadows,
did I imagen you too?

This poem is about an absent father. Absent not by choice. I have hearing problems, and when i think i hear something it never ends.
My beign home alone a lot is what motivated me to write this peom, so that my father could hear what it is like for me to have him gone.
