You have left <br />your voice <br /> <br />about my house <br /> <br />your shadow <br />still embraces <br />my wall <br /> <br />your footstep <br />like an old shoe <br />discarded on a stair <br /> <br />I constantly trip over <br /> <br />your laughter <br /> <br />the anywhere of everywhere <br /> <br />your presence <br /> <br />haunts this absence <br /> <br />you have left <br /> <br />your voice <br /> <br />about this house <br /> <br />& I <br /> <br />... must survive it.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-have-left-your-voice/
