it would take a picture
to make the pieces
of your face fall into place
ah, but i know your body
i've outlined it in
my mind a million times

sometimes, at night
i hold my pillow next
to me and pretend
we never drifted apart
in search of better things




There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Oh, that old pillow trick, Faith, has been squeezed and wept on and thrown across the room by millions of forlorn lovers.

there is a comfort to this melancholy that can only be best described as you have written...that pillow (as Jerry has identified it.)  ...relating smiles of understanding to you
