How sweet you sounded
singing to me from the stars
I look up for your guidance
I reach out my hand to the heavens
but your sweet lullaby has gone silent.

How soft you felt
weaving through my fingertips
surely there but only a whisper
I run to mountain tops
to feel you once again
but your soft touch has retracted from my brittle bones.

How rich you tasted
heavy and decadent
like melted chocolate dripping off the tongue
I lick my lips trying to savor you
but your love has always been fleeting.
