Is it fair to say I miss you
when there's song I want to share
but your ears are not here

it is true to say I realize
that a pillow can not replace
an unfilled bed space

and now my memory is excited
by the sight of your clothes
and the rubbish you've left behind

You've used minimulism wonderfully. So much said, especially in that last stanza. I shall look forward to reading more from you.

Isn't it strange how the little things now seem so important.
You've written it with feeling. I really enjoyed!
Welcome to the family.

but it's just no use...
piece by piece I lose it
when you walk into the room...
