Flicker

I trace the edges of the space that’s left behind
The empty corners hold me back again
It’s in the hollow where the memory feeds the pain
Held up between the flicker and the fade

Will you wait for me
I will wait for you

First kiss, new depth, new love, new mess, pulled in, then kept, one life, timeless
One breath, breathless, your chest, hand pressed, lean in, last catch, now both, weightless

Will you wait
I will wait for you
